Abstract

Robert McCreight of George Washington University suggests it is time to initiate a constructive debate on the necessary core curriculum, educational requirements, and delivery mechanisms for career seekers in emergency management and homeland security. Citing a general lack of consensus within the higher education and professional communities, he raises a number of issues and professional challenges for consideration by the JHSEM readership. We thank Dr. McCreight for initiating the conversation, and look forward to reader comments on this very important topic.
