Abstract
Purpose: Increased threat of chemical and biological (C&B) agent injuries from terrorist activity has greatly escalated public concern. This study assessed need for training by determining level of preparedness through self-perception of clinical competence, level of education, and experience of military ED health care providers to identify and treat victims of C&B agents. It sought to determine a correlation between demonstrated test score of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) knowledge, and perceived level of preparedness. Finally, it polled participants to inquire if C&B education should be incorporated into academic curriculum and made a requirement for medical/nursing licensure.
