An absolutely terrific hour-long presentation on pandemic influenza and other Emerging infectious diseases from the University of California this morning. This was uploaded only a couple of weeks old, so it is timely.
It is well paced, well produced, and geared largely to health care professionals, but not overly technical either. This program discusses Influenza, SARS, Ebola, MRSA and other emerging infectious diseases.
A substantial amount of time is spent on HCW (Health Care Worker) safety concerns and PPEs.
Highly recommended.

You cant watch TV these days without hearing about the threat of diseases like swine flu, bird flu or other emerging infections.

This video is just one of a series of presentations for Health Professionals presented by University of California TV. While I’ve not had an opportunity to screen the other videos, if they are any where near as good as the one above, they are worth your time.
