Welcome to Disaster Medicine Training.
This course was developed to provide a foundation of disaster medicine knowledge that every health care provider who responds to a disaster should know. This course was developed through SEMPER, Stanford Emergency Medicine Program for Emergency Response. SEMPER’s mission has 3 pillars:
- Develop nimble medical teams that could “load and go†into a disaster scene within 24 hours of a call and to be self-sufficient for the first 72 hours.
- Develop a standardized disaster medicine education curriculum and training for all members.
- Pursue research to develop disaster best practices in order to improve disaster medical care.
