A model for clinical practice, influential research and sharing knowledge

The Serious Communicable Disease Program (SCDP) at Emory has become a regional, national and international resource on the strict protocols that are needed to safely care for patients with Ebola and other special pathogens. Emory experts in medicine, nursing, administration, technology, environmental sciences, and public health comprise our model of interdisciplinary research within the Serious Communicable Diseases Program. This program strives to bridge the gap between research and bedside care, making our discoveries immediately applicable to improving patient outcomes.

We foster a culture of readiness by maintaining strong training procedures with staff specially trained to work in the Serious Communicable Diseases Unit (SCDU). This regimen includes annual exercises, skills training, and online course work for all staff. Unit staff drill for a variety of clinical scenarios, using both hands-on and virtual reality methodology.

Emory’s SCDP co-leads the NETEC and has assisted in training of many individuals.

We remain committed to training other institutions to increase the capability of US public health and health care systems to safely manage individuals infected with special pathogens.

Our Vision

The Serious Communicable Disease Program is a globally recognized center that leverages interprofessional partnerships to innovate health care practice for patients with special pathogens.

  • Conducts innovative research
  • Validates clinical practice and technology
  • Translates research into practice
  • Improves patient care and health care worker safety
