Level: Technical Time: 1- 1 1/2 hours Goal/Intended Audience This course is intended for laboratorians who handle biological and microbiological samples in clinical, reference, public health, animal, research or teaching laboratories. Course Content The course consists of a Virtual Bioterrorism Workshop. In this interactive workshop you will determine whether to rule out or refer several organisms that are considered potential agents of bioterrorism by applying Laboratory Response Network protocols for Level A (sentinel) laboratories. When a possible agent of bioterrorism cannot be ruled out, you will view a video describing the clinical presentation and etiology of the agent. Prerequisite Knowledge/Experience for Taking This Course The Electronic BT Workshop is for all Sentinel Laboratorians and students. Both experienced Microbiologists and those with less experience will benefit from the workshop. Laboratorians who have spent more time in clinical Microbiology will be most likely to recognize the correct choices and will find the course easier than laboratorians who are less exlperienced in that area. This should not be a deterrent to those who are interested in broadening their knowledge about rule-out testing for potential agents of bioterrorism
