Abstract

The West African Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic of 2014-2015 required North American hospitals to undertake comprehensive planning and training for the potential need to care for patients with EVD. Here we describe physician contributions to EVD preparedness planning and the care of persons under investigation for or patients with EVD.
