In response to

Describe the origin story of the program. What event or conditions enabled or called for its formation?

This program was started in Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Charon and colleges believed that physicians have become far too clinical and are only treating based on symptoms. Their efforts are the reason the program exists today.

Biological Citizenship: The Science and Politics of Chernobyl-Exposed Populations

In response to

How (if at all) is emergency response addressed in the article or report?

The article addresses emergency response in two ways by addressing emergency medicine in a long and short-term fashion. It talks about first responder contamination, and whether or not the containment was well handled. The review of the past emphasizes a greater need to prepare for the future. Another part of the article discusses the severe number of individuals that were affected, and thus the problems arising from such a large number of individuals.
