Webinar Overview:

An active shooter situation is one of the most dynamic, scary, and unpredictable situations that healthcare workers could face. What can you do to make a difference?

Rather than attempt to make healthcare providers "tactical experts", this webinar approaches the topic from a basic, common-sense approach.
