The American medical community has been

increasingly confronted with the threat and actual

occurrence of major mass casualty disasters in the

past few decades. Since the terrorist attacks of

September 11, 2001 on U.S. soil, and remembering

similar attacks in the recent past, it has become

apparent that medical care providers in this country

are not well prepared to manage true mass casualty

events. These events require an entirely different

approach to medical care, including different

strategies and tactics in caring for large numbers of

severely injured victims, compared with the routine

Please—practice of emergency care. Disasters are not

simply large emergencies, and doing simply more of

the same will not work to optimize casualty

outcomes. This course was developed as an

educational tool that is targeted at those acute care

hospital providers (surgeons, anesthesiologists,

emergency medicine physicians, ER, OR, ICU and

Trauma nurses and prehospital professionals) who

will be the most likely first receivers of casualties

following major disasters. Education is necessary to

bring all medical providers up to a common basic

level of understanding of the distinct principles of

mass medical care so as to assure the success of

disaster medical responses. Such major

organizations as the Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention, the American Medical Association,

the American Association of Orthopedic Surgery,

the American College of Emergency Physicians, and

the American College of Surgeons have strongly

urged acute care medical providers to achieve this

education and training in disaster management.
