Cíle předmětu
Exploring the Legal Bases by which Governmental Entities and Civil Society Organizations Seek to Address the Threats Posed by the Intentional Use of Pathogens as Agents of Bioterrorism, by Emerging Infectious Diseases, and by Other Public Health Threats,such as Chemical, Radiological or Nuclear, Domestically and Internationally. Consequently, a major emphasis of the course will be to expose students to international news and events pertinent to the subjects being emphasized in class. This seminar immerses the student in the public health scenarios which constitute emergencies for which legal authority to act is essential. It also familiarizes the student with the legal structures and documents upon which the domestic and international authorities are founded. This year the World Health Organization (WHO) set the deadline for Member States to submit their International Health Regulation (IHR 2005) Action Plans. A major emphasis in the course will be to compare and contrast the Czech Republic Action Plan with that of the United States (and/or other M/S of the WHO, e.g., Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, etc).The possibility exists that a guest speaker on the topic of the Czech Republic Action Plan will be brought to the class. Students will be introduced to the legal issues via case studies, tabletop exercises, and films, among other instruments. Reference works and resources used in the course are websites and other Internet-based learning mechanisms and communication technologies. ALL STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE ACCESS TO A COMPUTER DURING EACH CLASS SESSION FOR SWIFT ACCESS TO INTERNET SITES TO PROVIDE QUICK RESPONSES TO PENDING ISSUES.

Výukové metody
Public Health Preparedness and Emergency Legislation is a swiftly moving landscape. As a result, there is no single book to use as a resource. Readings on the Internet sites applicable to the CBRN threats emphasized in class, as will be powerpoint presentations, case studies, tabletop exercises, films, internet videos, YouTube videos, etc., as pertinent to the topic.
