Dr. Virginia Caine:
Hello, I’m Dr. Virginia
Caine. Welcome to today’s broadcast, “Anthrax: What Every Clinician
Should Know, Part 2.” This, the second in our series of special
public health training network programs, is designed to prepare
personnel in the medical and public health system to work together
to combat the spread of anthrax. Today we are coming to you live
from the Howard University television studios at Howard University
here in Washington, D.C. We have assembled a panel of experts from
our sponsors the National Medical Association, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, and local public health. Our panel of experts
will provide a specially tailored program that will address the
informational and educational needs of physicians, nurses, clinicians,
and other healthcare providers serving in private offices, hospitals,
and public health settings including those that serve minority and
underserved populations. During the program we will present an overview
of the clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological features of anthrax
that you should know, as well as those special public health prevention
and response recommendations needed to combat the occurrence of
this disease. Emphasis will be placed on the educational and informational
needs unique to the minority and underserved populations. As you
all know, nationally we are confronted by an environment of evolving
science and epidemiology. Today, the panel will also present late-breaking
information which can be found at the CDC’s Web site on bioterrorism
and the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Review you all know
as the MMWR. These sites are updated daily.
We also have with us a special group of medical leaders in the African-American community who will pose questions and discussion topics to our panel.
