This image was created by Nahid Bhadelia, MD, Assistant Prof. of Medicine in the Section of Infectious Diseases, and the Associate Hospital Epidemiologist at Boston Medical Center. It was captured while the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) 2014, Domestic Ebola ETU Training Course for healthcare workers was underway. The program had been designed in order to educate participants who would be deployed, as members of the West African Ebola Response team, as to the proper protocols to be followed when treating Ebola patients. In this particular view, three training participants were displaying the personal protective equipment (PPE) worn by treatment specialists who would be intimately interacting with patients ill with Ebola, which included head and facial coverings, goggles, plastic gloves, a plastic body suite, and plastic apron.
