Athletic trainers will arrive on scene to a mock mass casualty incident, and identify unique challenges such as limited resources, the need for rapid decision-making, and the coordination of multiple responders during an MCI. Athletic trainers will triage patients in multiple different scenarios learning to prioritize patients based on severity of injuries and their role in managing these incidents. Athletic trainers must prepare for their role in disaster management events by establishing and reviewing an emergency action plan. Emergency action/disaster plans will be discussed in a lecture setting allowing time for individual review of implementation of new knowledge.  This course will better prepare an athletic trainer for a possible mass casualty incident developing triage skills and understanding their role as a health care provider during a MCI.
