Overview
This course is designed to highlight how preparedness for emerging pathogens such as Ebola translated to responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Front line healthcare providers who cared for the first COVID patients at the beginning of the pandemic share their experience in adapting a biocontainment approach to a pandemic response, as well as the challenges and successes of integrating research into this effort. Additionally, the course addresses some of the unanticipated long-term consequences of COVID-19 survivors and explores how lessons learned from this pandemic might influence future emerging pathogen preparedness efforts.

The Special Pathogens Program at Cedars-Sinai is funded by the Department of Health and Human Services to support ongoing readiness to care for patients with low-incidence, high-consequence infections. This symposium is designed to provide education, foster institutional collaboration, and improve relationships with hospitals and healthcare providers within the region to help strengthen hospital preparedness for caring for patients with emerging pathogens.

Objectives
  1. Define how preparedness for emerging pathogens such as Ebola translated to responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  2. Discuss the experience of front line healthcare providers who cared for the first COVID patients at the beginning of the pandemic in adapting a biocontainment approach to a pandemic response.
  3. Examine the challenges and successes of integrating research during a pandemic response.
  4. Describe unanticipated long-term consequences of COVID-19 survivors.
  5. Explore how lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic might influence future emerging pathogen preparedness efforts.
