description BACKGROUND: High-consequence pathogens present complex challenges in United States (US) healthcare, with knowledge gaps existing in the provision of safe and effective treatment. The National Emerging Special Pathogens Training and Education Center (NETEC) aims to standardize guidance and care coordination across the healthcare continuum for suspected or confirmed infection with high-consequence pathogens through education, training, research, monitoring, evaluation, and funding. The NETEC Special Populations Committee applies this mission to pediatric and obstetric care. We conducted a needs assessment to optimize education and training opportunities for healthcare teams related to high-consequence pathogen preparedness for children and pregnant women. METHODS: Stakeholders received a needs assessment survey via email, social media, and NETEC website from 10/3/22-11/15/22. Questions targeted demographics, topics of interest for continuing education within the special populations: pathogen awareness, frontline care, infection prevention, and emergency preparedness, and learning modality preferences. RESULTS: Of the 20,600 impressions, the survey was completed by 145 persons (with 97 additional partial completions). The use of targeted emails had the highest engagement, with a 25% open rate (29% industry average) and click-through rate of 18% (5% industry average). Respondents were located across the US, mainly in academic healthcare settings (46%). Infection Preventionists (30%) represented the greatest proportion, but many institutional roles were reported (Table 1). Responses to educational topics were widely distributed (Table 2). Webinars (77%), in-person training (64%), and brief written summaries or updates (54%) were the most common preferred learning modalities (Figure 1). [Figure: see text] [Figure: see text] [Figure: see text] CONCLUSION: Myriad healthcare team members are involved in the care of pediatric and obstetric patients with high-consequence pathogens. They represent an engaged group of NETEC stakeholders that, despite recent experience with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, express interest in continuing education on topics related to high-consequence pathogens across the care continuum via interactive, engaging, and collaborative learning modalities, led by subject matter experts.
