began, finally, the first edition of the Course of Experts on bioterrorism prevention epidemiology at the University of Granada, the first initiative in teaching the subject to be taught in the European Union, resulting in a success of participation since they have exceeded even the highest expectations.
In recent years, due to the great recession we live in, college students and professionals from different sectors who seek training in certain areas or go into certain fields of research, for example, biosafety, have become selective because they do not have the resources of years ago. Because of this, look very closely at the courses offered by the School of Graduate and Continuing Education Centres of the universities, when previously raced through its doors to perform any of their courses, either because it offers them college credit, either because they were beneficial to their jobs.
But since the global economic crisis began, many of these courses have disappeared for lack of students at the universities, aware of the liquidity problem which may lead the situation but also the responsibility they have towards the Company and their training in different professional fields, only approve those courses that are truly useful, or have pull among students.
This first course in bioterrorism expert at the University Granada, whose organization helps our Network Security Analysis Comprehensive WORLD SAFE has fulfilled its initial objectives. Has not only covered the 40 seats that were called but already has a list of students interested in the second edition, 2011.
Among the students in this first edition, there are nurses, doctors, biologists or students of biology and parasitology (PhD), members of the Security Forces and military units such as Emergency and NBC School (defense against threats nuclear, biological and chemical), which is complex in Hoyo de Manzanares (Military Engineering Academy), Civil Protection, students other university programs that want to try their luck in the field of security and take courses to acquire a broad background, etc.
The inaugural session was attended by the General Bureau of Investigation and Analysis Training and Doctrine Command of the Army and the Commander in Chief of Information Services and the Judicial Police headquarters of the Guardia Civil in the province of Granada (something not usual in this type of course), since both agencies have worked together in organizing the course, the first one sending the head of the Department Commander of the Military Academy biological NBC to give a presentation (the biological program Qaeda). A In turn, Colonel Chief of the headquarters of the Guardia Civil, who could not attend the inaugural session be in another event in Seville, he contacted the Chief of Corps Reserve units sent to a specialist commander biological threats to give another lecture (Experience of the Civil Guard in defense RNBQ).
Ana also attended Dr. Miquel Gomez, deputy director of monitoring objectives of the Directorate General of Primary Care of the Ministry of Health of the Community of Madrid and Dr. Enrique Baca, victimologists expert and head of the Psychiatry Department of the Hospital Door Iron and Director of the Department of Psychiatry Autonomous University of Madrid.
No setbacks of any kind, except the initial nerves as the first session but saved immediately and without any consequences, although they have served to prepare for the face next weekend (April) with more confidence because the course is already up that was what it was. Moreover, the management team / coordination of the course has enabled a forum for student participation, something new in this type of courses, allowing students to move their visits to teachers without having to resort to the phone with the cost involved or wait for them to respond by email. In this way, you can comment and discuss course content with other peers rather than in most graduate courses, students come into contact only in the sessions, which are only a few along the course. In addition, this forum allows the interaction of students and teachers, with the possibility of creating joint teams to the academic work of evaluation, which will be published in various Web pages previously agreed with their managers in order to disseminate their work as always benefit to its authors, in our case, students and professionals, which is not usually valued in almost any course.
was given a cd Documenting blibliográfica with students, along with a folder with a pen, all in a wallet for convenience, having provided the delivery of a CD each month with most documentation in addition to issuing a video documentary on bioterrorism or lethal virus (if possible two, it would do) for further discussion in class or in the forum, which is not usual practice in these courses, which are introducing many new features. Safe World
