Meeting to Discuss Simulation and Training Exercises at the NEIDL
Boston University School of Medicine
September 24, 2009
An overview of the Simulation and Training Exercises at the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) will be held:
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
Evans Room 110
Boston University School of Medicine
72 East Concord Street
Boston, MA 02118
As announced earlier this year, researchers at the NEIDL will conduct safety and training exercises. At the October 7 meeting, the researchers will provide an overview of the simulation and training and describe what will take place over the next several months as the exercises commence.
The training exercises will be based on simulations of protocols from research previously published in scientific and research journals. The simulations will be full scale “walk through” dress rehearsals of each step in the process that led to acquiring the data that resulted in the published research.
Research will not be conducted nor will research agents be used at any time during the safety and operations training exercises.
