SLU Closed POD Exercise

Saint Louis University Closed POD Planning Team

Be Part of a Prepared SLU!
Working with the St. Louis City Department of Health, Saint Louis University has created plans to activate an emergency Point of Dispensing to provide life-saving medications in the event of a bio-terrorism attack in the area. Such an undertaking requires a great deal of planning and work, and you can be part of that effort by volunteering to be part of an exercise on Monday, October 10th.
The exercise will be held at Simon Recreation Center, and will involve volunteers under the direction of trained SLU staff to set up, operate and take down the dispensing operation. For students in the medical and public health fields, this will be an exceptional opportunity for hands-on experience and development of important emergency knowledge. For others, it will be a chance to be part of a critical effort to help fellow students, faculty and staff. Set-up will begin at 8 a.m, and other volunteer positions begin at 10:00am. Mock patients will need to report by 10:45am. The exercise will be complete by 12:00pm. Various work responsibilities and shifts are available, and just-in-time training will be provided to all.  You must have completed the Volunteer POD Dispensing Training Course in order to sign-up to be a dispenser.
Sign-up for a shift that meets your schedule.
