Building a fundamental framework for disaster education and training.

摘要

To the Editor: The recent article by Williams, Nocera and Casteel sought to determine whether training interventions for health care providers convey the knowledge and skills required for disaster response.1 Due to the lack of sufficient evidence, the study * could not conclusively determine whether the training for health care providers is effective. However, the authors did find that the current quality and scope of continuing education for disaster preparedness was largely inconsistent.
