systems by allowing investigators to replicate the same mass casualty incident, with the …

The concept of “learning by doing” has become less acceptable, particularly when invasive
procedures and high‐risk care are required. Restrictions on medical educators have …

BACKGROUND Mass casualty incidents are unfortunately becoming more common. The
coordination of mass casualty incident response is highly complex. Currently available …
