Jill Morgan, RN, BSN, reviews this significant part of clinical care and how personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential to protecting healthcare workers.

Emory's Gavin Harris, MD, discusses these elements, and how despite the fact they rarely occur, the need to do continuous training is essential for readiness.

Gavin Harris, MD, discusses his experience working in outbreak environments where there is high-consequence infectious disease (HCID) and how it is important to establish buy-in from the local populations and some of the important elements of what you need to leave behind when an outbreak is declared over.

Emory's Gavin Harris, MD, talks about taking care of patients with high-consequence infectious diseases, and considerations for not only their care, but their families.
