HA 450 - Health Care Emergency Management


Emergency Management is an in-depth course which will provide students with an introduction to emergency management principles, key components and regulations of emergency preparedness and response programs. Upon completion of the course, health care professionals will be able to demonstrate the ability to make critical decisions needed to reduce the potential threats to life and property using an “all hazards” approach to disaster management. This will be accomplished by making certain that the students understand the components of the overall health care system, know the threats to the facility/hospital and the community, understand the emergency planning process, understand emergency management principles and can demonstrate effective leadership during an incident. The course focuses on tasks and skills that have been identified as essential to the role of the healthcare professional involved in emergency management.
