Module 05 Discussion - When Disaster Strike

Search the Internet to find a video news clip or article illustrating the United States government's medical response to a natural or man-made disaster. In your discussion, list the source of your example and evaluate what healthcare policy must have been operational - or should have been - to enable quick action when such a disaster struck.

Respond to two or more of your colleagues' postings in any of the following ways:

• Build on something your peer said
• Explain why and how you see things differently.
• Ask a probing or clarifying question.
• Validate an idea with your own experience

Module 05 Discussion - Leadership in Action

No plan can succeed without leadership. Having a strong leader can make the difference between failure and success for any endeavor. Post a brief description of your population and the plan idea you have for addressing their health needs. This time identify who should lead the implementation of your plan. Describe what characteristics make them qualified to put into action your "baby" (after all, you didn't spend weeks developing this plan just to hand it off to just anyone).
