Hero Dirt: Collaboration on Emerging Special Pathogens (Adam Sorenson S5E19)

In this podcast episode we want to introduce you to our BCEN Friend, Adam Sorenson.

Graduating in 2012 with his BSN, Adam Sorenson began his career as a pediatric nurse before transitioning to a role as a pediatric intensive care nurse. After a few years in the PICU, Adam shifted to working in an adult surgical intensive care unit (SICU) at a Level 1 trauma center, where he continues to work today. Adam’s professional development includes advanced training, starting with Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC) and Advanced Trauma Care Nursing (ATCN) to obtaining his certification as a Trauma Certified Registered Nurse (TCRN).

In 2014, during the Ebola outbreak in Central and West Africa, Adam joined the Highly Infectious Treatment Team (HITeam) at Denver Health Hospital, an all-voluntary group established to handle such crises. Denver Health was designated as an Ebola regional treatment center in 2015. In 2021, Adam took on a part-time role as a Biocontainment Unit Nurse Educator, focusing on training, education, and preparedness for viral hemorrhagic fevers, rare respiratory viruses, and novel viruses. Additionally, Adam has served as a nurse in the Air Force Reserves for the past five years.

Come along as Michael Dexter and Hollye Briggs talk with Adam about his nursing career from pediatrics to trauma care to biocontainment. This episode is called, “Hero Dirt: Collaboration on Emerging Special Pathogens.”
