Physician preparedness for bioterrorism recognition and response: a Utah-based needs assessment.
The medical community accepts that they have a need to be prepared to recognize and respond to bioterrorism events. A needs assessment conducted among physicians throughout the state of Utah provided insights into their perceived training needs and preferred methods of learning. Physicians have many competing demands on their time and tailored educational offering can increase the intended audience's acceptance and learning.
