Faculty Joseph Contiguglia, MD, MPH & TM, MBA
Clinical Professor of Public Health
Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine

Satellite Conference and Live Webcast
Wednesday, May 30, 2012 12:00-1:30 p.m. (Central Time)
1:00-2:30 p.m. (Eastern) • 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. (Mountain) • 10:00-11:30 a.m. (Pacific)

The future is viewed as a gathering storm where changes in perils and population vulnerabilities could lead to serious consequences.  The creation of an operational model utilizing the Delta Analysis process will help address challenges faced by elderly patients during times of disaster.  Program faculty will demonstrate a need to break from the way in which communities have prepared and reacted in the past in order to achieve survival and success in the future.

Objectives:
• Analyze demographics and vulnerabilities impacting actual capabilities to support geriatric patients during disasters.
• Employ the tools of doctrine, analysis, and planning to sustain and augment effective community capability for crisis mitigation.
• Identify evolutions in perils and vulnerabilities which threaten to impact future consequence management for elderly patients.

Need Help Studying for your NEHA Exam? New to Environmental Health? Need Some Refresher Courses?

The Environmental Public Health Online Courses (EPHOC) training program has been developed specifically for you – the most important frontline environmental health professional.  This program will not only give you the knowledge and application of the basic subjects needed in your environmental health practice, but also expose you to the broader field, as well as introduce some of the newest concepts that will shape the future of how environmental health will be protecting our communities and our world. 

The fifteen EPHOC courses are taught by a group of environmental public health subject matter experts from across the country.  The instructor group is a mix of academic professors and environmental health practitioners in several different agency settings.  Course content includes the various roles and responsibilities of environmental public health staff in the over 45 hours of online training provided.  The courses can be taken individually on demand.  They have been divided into multiple 40 to 60 minute modules for each course.  Successful completion of the course content and the post test will allow online students to print out a course certificate.  NEHA members can submit the certificate for pre-approved continuing education hour credits toward credential maintenance.

EPHOC training programs are designed for:

• New hire environmental public health professional and in-service refresher training

• Individuals preparing for a state or national credential exam

• Environmental health and related-discipline students

• Environmental public health professionals wanting to improve their technical knowledge or receive continuing education hours
