Volunteers from the UVAMRC participated in Disaster Preparedness Day as part of Clinical Connections, which is a mandatory full-day seminar for all 3rd year medical students at the University of Virginia.  Medical students learned about various concepts dealing with disaster medicine, and were exposed to a series of hands-on workshops that utilized members of the UVAMRC.  Pictured below are some of these sessions, including:

"Initial Assessment and Prioritization of Vicitims" (Brian Kipe in center, seated as vicitm)

"Dealing with the Media: Risk Communication" (Mark Fitzgerald, on left as cameraman)

"Patient Transportation Basics"

"Field Assessment and Backboarding"

"Personal Protective Equipment"
