Course Overview

In recent years, there has been growing concern that many of the most likely terrorist threats will involve “agents of opportunity” or materials that are readily available in most communities around the country.

The American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT) and the Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS) in partnership with the Region 4 Regional Disaster Response System (Southern Regional Disaster Response System - SRDRS) are pleased to offer this course on emergency medical response to exposures from radioactive materials and toxic chemicals. The Coordinating Office for Environmental Readiness, Response and Recovery (COER3) in the Office of the Director, within the National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry (NCEH/ATSDR) at the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), supported the delivery of this unique course to familiarize health care providers and responders with toxic exposures. The course will review the medical and psychological consequences of exposures to a variety of chemical and radiological materials. It will include practical information regarding scene safety for such agents as high potency fentanyl analogs, inhaled irritants, and proper decontamination of a victim contaminated with radiological material.

She graduated from Tennessee Technological University with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing in May of 2017. After graduation, she began a job in the Medical/Surgical and Neuro Intensive Care Units at Fort Sanders Regional in Knoxville, Tennessee. Throughout her time in the ICU she worked as a bedside nurse, rapid response nurse (hospital-wide), and Shift Leader. She assisted in training new graduate nurses and helped maintain the skills of other nurses through ICU and hospital-wide skills days. She has a well-rounded line of experience from pre-hospital field care to critical inpatient care and relative teaching and critical thinking skills. Brittany also worked as the Stroke and Sepsis Coordinator for Methodist Medical Center in Oak Ridge prior to joining the team at REAC/TS.

    Brittany has spent a lot of time doing community outreach activities including local missions and attended a mission trip during nursing school to a remote village in Belize. During the mission trip, she and some fellow classmates helped to create the first electronic health records in the village of San Benito Poite.

    Brittany joined REAC/TS in March 2024 and has since attended several classes and has given a variety of lectures for REAC/TS courses.

  • Agents of Opportunity for Terrorism: Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) and Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs) - July 2025
    Contains 1 Component(s) Includes a Live Web Event on 07/30/2025 at 8:50 AM (EDT)

    July 30, 2025

    Overview

    The Chemical Agents of Opportunity for Terrorism course is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-approved awareness-level training course addressing the medical and psychological impact of industrial chemicals used as terrorist weapons. Since 2005, ACMT has offered this course over 100 times to more than 10,000 attendees throughout the US and internationally. 

    Target Audience

    1-Day Course Designed for:

    • Pre-Hospital First Responders (EMTs and Paramedics)
    • Public Health Professionals
    • Law Enforcement 
    • Emergency Providers

    This 10-module course will utilize a symptom-based clinical approach to describe the medical impact of various chemical poisons. It will provide a framework to enhance recognition of the common health effects of apparently disparate chemical toxins, describe the risk to various healthcare workers, and introduce clinical and public health management strategies. 

    Course Objectives:

    • Understand the concept of chemical and radiological agents of opportunity (AoO) – TICs, TIMs and TRMs
    • Identify possible terrorist use of AoO
    • Discuss past mass exposure to AoO
    • Describe the major health effects of TICs, TIMs and other important non-volatile chemical agents
    • Identify primary treatment modalities for victims
    • Appreciate the basis for increased public health preparedness for these agents
    • Understand the psychological impact of mass casualties from such exposures
    • Understand the implementation of “first receiver” OSHA guidance

    Continuing Education: Interprofessional continuing education credits through the CDC are pending.
