Attendees will be able to:

  • Summarize the MRC educational approach for

continuing professional volunteers’ education.

  • Explain the effects of network topology in determining

the modes/methods of training for the MRC.

  • Recognize the effects, and subsequently the

requirements, of the varying acquired knowledge of volunteers.

  • Explain the concept of “Advise and Link Resources”

used by DCVMRC.

A Brief MRC Network Overview

  • Following the 9/11 attacks, thousands of unaffiliated

volunteers showed up to help. The need for volunteers was also noted later that year after the Anthrax attacks

  • Problems:
  • No way to ID or credential
  • Not covered under liability laws
  • No Incident Command System (ICS)

training

  • No management structure

MRC Model - No “typical” MRC

  • All MRC units:
  • Provi

de an organization structure for utilizing members

  • Pre-id

entify members

  • Verify

professional licensure/certification

  • Train/prepare
  • Units var

y by:

  • Housing organizations – LHD, hospital, CHC, faith-bas

ed

  • rg.
  • Partner organizations
  • Types/number of volunteers
  • Local mission/activities - emergency response, public

health , veterinary

Why One Model Would not Work

  • Communities differ by:
  • Population
  • Geography
  • Community government structure
  • Health needs
  • Laws and local government

structure One “size” does not fit all.

Medical Reserve Corps

  • Overview:
  • National Network
  • Mission to engage volunteers to strengthen public

health, emergency response and community resiliency

  • Operates/utilized LOCALLY
  • Affiliates and integrates with existing programs and

resources

Division of the Civilian Volunteer Medical Reserve Corps Overview

  • The Division of the Civilian Volunteer Medical Reserve

Corps (DCVMRC) is:

  • led by CAPT Robert Tosatto
  • the program office within the Office of the Surgeon

General that works on behalf of the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Network. We are not the MRC, per se.

  • Split between “home” office staff, contractors, a

Cooperative Agreement Partner, and regional representatives.

A Different Approach

  • Federally led, formalized training for distributed networks
  • cannot possibly take into account all of the discrete factors

found at the local level.

  • Overcome the limitations of time, staffing, and lack of local

“knowledge”

  • The approach is built upon:
  • Network Topology
  • Scalability
  • Adaptability

(a) Random network (b) Scale-free network

Engaging volunteers to strengthen public health, emergency response, and community resiliency

What type of network are we dealing with?

HUBS

Defined as units who display innovation and

  • rganic

network leadership. No preferential attachment Preferential attachment

Command and Control v Advise and Link Resources

Direct connection required to all units Direct connection required to a select few

slide-14
SLIDE 14

; ~ reserve corps Engaging volunteers to strengthen public health, emergency response, and community resiliency

Scalability

  • Was always a premise for building the MRC
  • Sometimes comes into conflict with Federal mandates

and desires.

  • It was known
  • it would become more difficult for us (DCVMRC) to be able

to contact the units individually.

  • The volunteer nature of the network would require that we

allow local units decide individually concerning Federal Initiatives.

slide-15
SLIDE 15

medico~

; ~ reserve corps Engaging volunteers to strengthen public health, emergency response, and community resiliency

Adaptability

  • Essential due to:
  • Varying acquired knowledge (academic training) and

accumulated wisdom (experience) of volunteers is infused across the network – Even during our obesity epidemic it was found that only ~27% of medical schools meet the required hours set by the National Academy of Sciences in the field of nutrition.

(Adams, Kohlmeier, & Zeisel, 2010)

– Examples like these can be found in almost all scientific fields of inquiry.

  • Lack of standardization
slide-16

; ~ reserve corps Engaging volunteers to strengthen public health, emergency response, and community resiliency

Varying Accumulated Knowledge

  • f Volunteers
  • Medical and public health professionals

– in training – active practice – inactive/retired

  • Students

– secondary and post secondary

  • Other interested individuals

– helping with leadership, communications, administration, logistics, etc…

Danger Ahead!

  • The Hazard of Over-tweaking
  • “Upgrading” a network is not always a good thing, and
  • ften people are surprised when it turns out to make things

worse.

  • This phenomenon necessitates the need to monitor

feedback loops to ensure our “helpful actions” do not cause more problems than they solve. – a.k.a. Braess’s Paradox- adding an intuitive, and thought to be helpful, link negatively impacts network users.

(Braess, Nagurney, & Wakolbinger, 2005)

MRC-TRAIN Reporting

  • Reports can be run at the:
  • Unit Leader Level
  • The State Level
  • The Regional Level
  • The National Level
  • Reports provide the necessary feedback loop we need to
  • Leverage federal training opportunities
  • Maximize partner engagement
  • Provide needed standardization of training to the network

(were indicated).
