UHL is taking its Pandemic Influenza Seminar and Tabletop Exercise on the road to all six of Iowa's Emergency Preparedness Regions beginning on April 23. This hands-on, half-day session is designed for laboratorians and will focus on their role in pandemic influenza preparedness. Part of the tabletop exercise will include a board game designed by UHL's Jon DeMartino, temporary program associate, and Ann Armstrong, designer, to help generate discussion about ways to prepare.  "The tabletop is not unique and having the tabletops is a concept that has been used for a while, but using the game as a teaching tool is unique and a new concept for UHL," says Trisha Kreman, UHL public health microbiologist. "We are teaching the concepts they need to know but they are also having fun, and by having fun that will help enforce it." Leading the on-site training for UHL are Trisha Kreman, public health microbiologist; Sandy Jirsa, supervisor of virology; Bonnie Rubin, assistant director of planning and development; Dr. Mike Pentella, interim associate director of infectious disease; and Jon DeMartino. More information about the exercise is available by contacting UHL's Rick Bonar at richard-bonar@uiowa.edu or at 319-335-4099. | |||||||||
