UTHealth will partner with the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit in Omaha to set up the new training program, which will include a hands-on operations-level course, an awareness-level course and an online community-level course.
“This award will allow us to develop and deliver meaningful training to a wide variety of audiences, including workers who we don’t usually consider at-risk for exposure to the Ebola virus, such as public service employees, waste handlers, funeral directors and others,” said Robert Emery, PhD, a professor at UTHealth School of Public Health and vice president of safety, health, environment and risk management at UTHealth.
