The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is organizing this summit to encompass several trainings and conferences offered by individual HHS program offices: the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS), Medical Reserve Corps (MRC), Emergency System for Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals (ESAR-VHP), and the Office of Force Readiness and Deployment (OFRD).
Working with our HHS partners, our vision is to have a robust, well-trained, and integrated pool of public health and medical responders in which all members understand their own roles and missions, as well as those of their response partners, in order to best serve our communities, States and the Nation. The Training Summit will help us to achieve this vision by convening a forum for discussing issues, sharing information, and networking amongst the constituent groups of various national-level organizations involved in preparing for and responding to public health and medical emergency events. The training is being specifically designed to reinforce relationships between the response partner organizations, focus on all-hazards approaches, and enable facilitated, interactive learning opportunities.
This Training Summit will be held April 4-8, 2009 in Dallas, TX. More information will be forthcoming. For now, please save the dates for this important national training event.
