Resource LibraryPQMD is committed to leading the world in the development and promotion of quality medical donation standards and practices. Inappropriate donations are often due to lack of knowledge, preparation or both on the part of the donors and recipients. In some cases well intentioned but unneeded donations are made in the wake of a disaster under the belief that any donation is a usable donation. The Library is a designed to reduce inappropriate and unneeded donations by building the capacity of everyone involved in medical product donations to make decisions that are in the best interests of the final recipients. This site provides a wide range of resources including standards, best practices, speeches, tools, presentations, studies, news articles and PQMD Educational Forum videos. Mission Possible

The main character, Agent Rex, guides the viewer on a secret mission to deliver the right amount of product on time to patients everywhere. Specifically designed to fit within established training curricula, the video, on its own, provides a basic primer in the field of health care logistics, highlighting the opportunities of this growing profession.
