Community of Practice

The Community of Practice was created in an effort to enhance communication and interoperability in the field of Healthcare Emergency Management.

This group meets quarterly to discuss previous and upcoming exercises, drills, conferences, and other opportunities for collaboration. The meeting is a great way to network professionally, and hear about new opportunities to get involved in the field.

For participants who are not located in the Boston area, we encourage them to attend using our video conferencing software or by phone.

If you are interested in becoming a part of this cadre of professionals, please contact Emily Winter, Outreach Coordinator at ewinter@bu.edu.
