to sponsor bioterrorism training exercise
1
The Southwest Area Health Education Center (SWAHEC) at Cameron University invites all healthcare
professionals and first responders to participate in a one-day bioterrorism training exercise.
SWAHEC will conduct a table-top exercise on June 22 from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. June 22 at CU’s campus in
Lawton. The training is designed to provide health professionals and first responders with relevant and
accessible training to meet bioterrorism and other hazardous threats. The exercise will simulate a realworld scenario and challenge participants to role play through a table-top discussion.
A low-stress, yet thorough, group problem-solving process will be emphasized. All participants will fill
different roles as they attempt to define participant’s roles and responsibilities as if it were a real disaster.
Reservations for this free training session are required, as seating is limited. To reserve a spot, or to find
out more information, contact bioterrorism education coordinator Jillian Bradshaw at 580/581-2314.
