Dominican University New York (DUNY) is one of 10 universities around the nation offering a Public Health Informatics & Technology program aimed at increasing the number of public health professionals trained in informatics and technology. DUNY’s program offers a special course designed especially for emergency responders. The Emergency Preparedness and Management for Public Health course, taught by an experienced EMT manager in Rockland County, New York, helps EMTs understand the expanding role of data in emergency response and prepares them to grow in management roles or to move on to other tech-related jobs in healthcare. . . This project is funded by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the Public Health Informatics & Technology Workforce Development Program.
