Preparing for the Return of SARS: Are we ready? - Part 1 (CD-ROM)

Course No: CB3079

Control of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) begins at the clinical interface --- suspicion, prompt recognition, appropriate diagnostics, and rapid implementation of infection prevention measures. Each program will assist healthcare providers in preparing to diagnose and manage patients with SARS should cases be suspected or identified in the coming months. Although the likelihood of SARS re-emerging in the US and elsewhere is not known, the seasonal emergence of similar respiratory diseases forces us to prepare for that possibility. This program was originally broadcast 9/23/2003.
