Cross-Country Training

Emory Medicine is teaming up with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to provide training, educational resources, and consultations for 48 U.S. medical centers that have been designated Ebola treatment centers.

Emory has hosted three Ebola-preparedness training conferences, which focused on managing specialized treatment units, and doctors and nurses have been going on site visits.

“It is our mission to pass on what we have learned to other health care providers and hospital staff, so they can ready themselves to care for patients diagnosed with Ebola,” says Bruce Ribner, director of Emory’s Serious Communicable Disease Unit. n
