Entitled, “Training for Ebola Deployment”, this image was captured by CDC Public Health Advisor, Cleopatra Adedeji, RRT, BSRT. In an exercise to prepare to help with the Ebola outbreaks, this pair was responsible for assessing each other’s personal protective equipment for potential breaches, and exposed skin, in what is called the Buddy System. Next, they practiced on mock patients.

Additional Information:
The 3-day courses took place at the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency Center for Domestic Preparedness in Anniston, Alabama. Training participants included physicians, nurses and other providers who were to be deployed to countries affected by the Ebola epidemic, thereby, providing direct patient care. "The primary purpose of the course was to ensure that clinicians intending to provide medical care to patients with Ebola have sufficient knowledge of the disease, and its transmission routes in order to work safely and efficiently in a well-designed ETU."
