The skills held under this medical student certification should be determined by a panel of experts, including experienced disaster relief and public health officials, to maximize utility during a wide range of national crises. A national registry of medical students with disaster certification could be maintained and updated (e.g., clerkship and board examination completion, current location) so that they are easily called to action. Participation in any relief efforts could be kept voluntary, but certification would ease the process of deploying willing medical students.","tracks":[{"project":"2_test","denotations":[{"id":"33021508-28145946-32994","span":{"begin":201,"end":202},"obj":"28145946"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"33021508-28145946-32994","pred":"source","obj":"2_test"}]}],"config":{"attribute types":[{"pred":"source","value type":"selection","values":[{"id":"2_test","color":"#ecad93","default":true}]}]}}
