The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has started an internal and external process to examine how the agency performed in response to the COVID Pandemic. In this podcast the guest is Julie Swann, who is the department head and A. Doug Allison Distinguished Professor of the Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. Professor Swann has conducted research, outreach and education to improve how health and humanitarian systems operate worldwide. Together we examine the many challenges that the pandemic created for the CDC and look at how they and state and local public health systems can move forward to improve their future pandemic response.
