CBRNE Medical & Public Health Response Certification Program by Tonex
This program prepares healthcare and public health professionals to recognize, manage, and coordinate response to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive incidents across clinical and community settings. Participants learn rapid assessment, toxidrome recognition, radiation injury care, decontamination flow, antidote deployment, and surge operations aligned with ICS and HVA priorities.
The course connects bedside actions with public health surveillance and mass prophylaxis to protect populations and sustain healthcare continuity. Cybersecurity risks that disrupt hospital networks and public health data systems are addressed with practical safeguards to protect EHR availability, counter ransomware during incidents, and preserve data integrity for command decisions. By the end, learners can integrate clinical pathways with incident command, lab partners, and community recovery while maintaining resilient, cybersecurity aware operations.
