Integrated Decision-Making in Response to Weapons of Mass Destruction Incidents: Development and Initial Evaluation of a Course for Healthcare Professionals

Abstract

The tabletop/real-time-exercise format was effective in increasing healthcare administrators' self-rated capabilities related to WMD disaster management and response. Integrating the competencies into training interventions designed for a specific target audience and deploying them into an interactive learning environment allowed the competency-based training objectives to be accomplished.
