White’s presentation will review the history of key chemical and biological agent use, unveil current threats, and provide an overview of bioterrorism and public health emergency preparedness. In addition to her work at WSU’s School of Medicine, White holds certification in the fields of medical toxicology, emergency medicine, and hyperbaric medicine. She is medical director of the Children’s Hospital of Michiga
