Excellence in Action:
World-Class Training for Mass Casualty Teams
Very little can replicate the real conditions of pre-hospital mass casualty care in the field. Priorities blur, critical interventions are delayed, and evacuation decisions feel like guesses under pressure, costing your teams time you don’t have and your patients outcomes they can’t afford.
But with Field Trauma Treatment and Evacuation Management, when every second counts, your people move with clarity. Teams triage decisively, stabilize effectively, and coordinate with confidence. Your staff communicate seamlessly, patients get the right care at the right time, and chaos gives way to control.
With simulation training designed by real-world experts and tested by the faculty and fellows of the BIDMC Disaster Medicine Fellowship, your medical, mass casualty and first response teams will perform at their best when it matters most.
This course is designed for:
- Pre-hospital mass casualty services, including doctors, nurses, and technicians
- EMS, firefighter, and prehospital teams
- Humanitarian and disaster response teams
- Physicians, nurses, and evacuation teams involved in trauma care
- Leaders involved in trauma system development and operational medical planning
- Disaster Medicine specialists

Field Trauma Treatment & Evacuation Management
Field Trauma Treatment is a 4-day immersive program focused on advanced field trauma and evacuation management. It integrates international trauma standards, including pre-hospital trauma life support and military/tactical life support, with hands-on simulation, rapid cycle deliberate practice micro-debriefing, serious games, and field exercises.
The course trains a core cohort of internal staff from your institution and addresses the leading causes of preventable death in mass casualty events and disaster zones. It strengthens clinical decision-making, operational coordination, and leadership under uncertainty. Participants train across clinical, logistical, and command domains to improve judgment and performance in high-stakes environments.
