Post-graduate course for emergency planners, hospital administrators, clinicians and emergency responders:

Do you know what to do if you are faced with mass casualties from a catastrophic event? Does everyone around you?

USAMRICD would like to present to you an advanced-level education opportunity from the US Army, the HM-CBRNE course. It offers healthcare professionals state-of-the-art instruction that may save lives in a major WMD incident. Designed for civilian and military healthcare managers and clinicians, it is presented by some of the nation’s leading authorities in biological, chemical, explosive and radiation incident management.

This course was developed with hospital level objectives – clinical and non-clinical. The HM-CBRNE course is intended to help mitigate the existing gaps in support of hospital operations during a major WMD event.

Topics are presented in a seminar format that encourages participation. At least half of the course is devoted to group activities and hospital teams centered on the Hospital Incident Command System (HICS). These team efforts culminate in a high production value multi-facility mass casualty tabletop exercise.

HM-CBRNE includes expert overview of all CBRNE fields to include psychology of CBRNE events. Other highlights include principles of hospital emergency management, regulatory frameworks (NIMS, NRF, HICS), equipment and procedure demonstrations as well as a multi-station practical exercise. Additionally, HM-CBRNE benefits all other routine and crisis hospital operations.

HM-CBRNE is typically attended by hospital management, emergency planners, emergency responders, public health officials, physicians, nurses and others. The course is offered 1-2 times per year. Typically, half of the attendees are civilian. HM-CBRNE provides a great opportunity to meet other professionals from across the nation who face the same challenges you do.

This course meets the mandatory chemical/biological training requirements under MEDCOM Policy 11-093..
