Resilience in Chaos: An Exploration of Disaster and Counter Terrorism Medicine

This talk will delve into the multifaceted realm of disaster medicine, spanning from the aftermath of natural events to the complexities of intentional acts of terrorism. From earthquakes and hurricanes to acts of bioterrorism and cyberattacks, we examine the diverse array of threats faced by healthcare systems worldwide. We also explore the operational opportunities and training pathways of this unique and increasingly important medical subspecialty, with a particular focus on its implication from an EMS perspective.
