New Sepsis CE Training Helps HCPs to
Save Lives in Disaster Settings

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); Sepsis Alliance; and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), as part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) are pleased to announce the release of Disaster Medicine: Sepsis, a free online training module for healthcare professionals (HCPs).
Sepsis, or the infection causing sepsis, starts outside of the hospital in nearly 87% of cases. Without timely treatment, sepsis can rapidly lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death. This training module provides HCPs with guidance on how to save lives in disaster scenarios by encouraging them to be alert to the signs and symptoms of sepsis and to identify and treat patients early. It also features CDC and other expert commentary to help emergency medical services personnel and disaster responders triage in non-traditional clinical environments.

The Disaster Medicine: Sepsis training is available through the Sepsis Alliance Institute. HCP participants are eligible to receive continuing education credit upon successful completion of the training. Take the training today.
