The culmination of our class, mass casualty night, has proven to be the most engaging, most instructive, and probably the most fun class of the entire course.
What's Mass Casualty Night?
We simulate an event where we have multiple patients in need of care. Each patient acts out a unique injury. It's up to the patroller candidates to assess each patient and then provide the appropriate care by themselves or by leading a team to do so. Pictures from previous year's event below.
Why is it unique?
The event is unique in that it requires the candidates to bring to bear all the skills they've learned in class, and do so in a stressful environment that we create. It's also a great opportunity for friends, family and others interested to see what this Outdoor Emergency Care is all about.
We need your help
To make this happen, we need a large number of volunteers. This year, we're looking for around 40. Young and old, we want and welcome all. We'll provide you some coaching on your "injury". In some cases, we'll also apply some moulage to better simulate the injury. And you'll get to act it out as you like, being as high or low maintenance as you like to your patroller-rescuer and their team.
Location
This year, our Mass Causality Simulation will take place at our usual class location: Risk Strategies in Burlingame. Directions
