Utilization of an Asynchronous Online Learning Module Followed by Simulated Scenario to Train Emergency Medicine Residents in Mass-Casualty Triage.

ABSTRACT:

Audience

This is a combined independent study and simulation session designed to teach and drill Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) Triage and is intended for emergency medicine residents at all levels.

Introduction

The training of emergency medicine residents to assume leadership roles in disaster response is important. However, lack of accepted specific educational goals on the national level leads to significant variability between residencies.

Educational objectives

The purpose of this session is to train EM residents in the use of the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) and pediatric JumpSTART algorithms for triage in mass casualty incidents (MCIs) using an asynchronous model. By the end of this small group session, learners will be able to: 1) describe START tri
