Case Studies in Terrorist Bombings (PRE8)

Aaron Richman, MBA, EMT-P, Albert Einstein Center for Special Operations Training

Aaron Richman, former Captain in the Jerusalem Police Department, is one of the few American civilians who has ever been an incident commander at the scene of terrorist bombings. Join him as he walks you through several case studies in the preparedness, response, mitigation and recovery from acts of terrorism. Aaron is also a paramedic and his presentation will cover law enforcement, medical, rescue and emergency management functions necessary to combat terrorist bombings.

Basic Disaster Life Support (BDLS) (PRE9)

Albert Einstein Center for Special Operations Training

BDLS[R] is the didactic component of the national disaster life support training. The BDLS curriculum is developed with an all-hazards approach (recognition and management) to disaster response. BDLS is targeted to multiple disciplines including: emergency medical service (EMS) personnel, hazardous materials personnel, public health personnel, and health care providers. The instructor-led presentation of BDLS is a day long course approved for 7.5 hrs of category 1 PRA by the American Medical Association. The curricula includes: overview and disaster paradigm; natural and manmade disasters; traumatic and explosive events; nuclear and radiological weapon attacks; biological events; chemical events; the public health system and the psychosocial aspects of disasters.

Mass Gathering Medicine: Awareness and Operations (PRE10)

Michael Johnson, RN, BS, EMT-P, Andrew Milsten, MD, David Jaslow, MD, MPH, EMT-P

Is your EMS agency responsible for development and execution of a medical action plan for an event(s) that attracts more than 1000 participants and/or spectators? These events blend EMS, public health, emergency management, incident command, fire and terrorism prevention and a host of other factors into an amalgam that has become known as mass gathering medicine, a subspecialty of EMS Special Operations. Join two authors of the nation's only comprehensive text on the subject, Mass Gathering Medical Care: The Medical Director's Checklist, and a nurse-paramedic who directs American Medical Response Mid-Atlantic Division's special events section as they present an approach to medical care delivery at events from 1000 to one million plus people using evidence-based medicine and industry best practices. Students will receive a copy of the text with registration. This course meets the concept of an operations-level training curriculum.
