The University of Wyoming will be offering a new UW School of Pharmacy elective course titled "Pandemic Preparedness Policy".

The course, which is scheduled for fall 2020, is for upper-division undergraduate students, professional students, and graduate students from all disciplines.

The learning objectives of the policy course include looking at the role of federal agencies in the development and implementation of pandemic preparedness policy.

Students will also examine the societal effects of directives on social distancing, orders to quarantine during illness, and community perceptions on public gatherings.
