The University of Nebraska Medical Center's, College of Public Health modeled a student response team after similar successful programs at Emory University and the University of North Carolina. The team was created for three specific scenarios: epidemiology outbreak assistance, points of dispensing assistance, and monitoring social media in a disaster. Graduate students in public health are an overlooked volunteer resource. Many have prior work experience and are eager for the opportunity to gain additional practical experience while demonstrating classroom knowledge about the foundations of public health. Requesting agencies gain access to a dependable, replenishable volunteer pool. Academic institutions are encouraged to create teams to serve local communities, giving students access to serve local communities and to give students access to valuable applied experience that can be beneficial as they enter the public health workforce.
内布拉斯加大学医学中心公共卫生学院仿照埃默里大学和北卡罗来纳大学类似的成功项目，组建了一个学生应对小组。该小组针对三种特定情况而设立：流行病学疫情援助、配药点援助以及灾难期间的社交媒体监测。公共卫生专业的研究生是一个被忽视的志愿者资源。许多人有工作经验，渴望有机会获得更多实践经验，同时展示他们在公共卫生基础方面的课堂知识。申请机构能够获得一个可靠的、可补充的志愿者库。鼓励学术机构创建小组为当地社区服务，让学生有机会服务当地社区，并获得宝贵的实践经验，这对他们进入公共卫生工作队伍会有帮助。
