February 2006, the PHD-MRC had its first orientation meeting and a Pandemic Flu presentation for local physicians with private practices. A month later, the unit offered a second orientation meeting for all health care professionals including physicians. At that meeting, a Pandemic Flu presentation was also offered. In April 2006, volunteers received training information to be able to start self study courses.
