The Disaster Medical Specialist course is 50 hours and five days in length, ten hours of instruction each day. It is designed to provide the participants with the knowledge, skills and abilities to perform medical assessment and care at a structural collapse disaster scene due to natural disasters or terrorist incidents. This course exposes the student to the injury types consistent with structural collapse incidents. A heavy focus is placed on providing medical care in a confined space. The course is 50% classroom and 50% field based exercises. The course also provides a half day on search canine veterinary care since medical specialists would be the first to treat injured search canines on scene. This class includes a realistic night exercise in Disaster City®.
TEEX makes every effort to ensure consistent terminology and training within the discipline of urban search and rescue, so this course mirrors the FEMA US&R curriculum but does not provide FEMA certification.
The Disaster Medical Specialist course is a DHS G&T Approved State Sponsored Course. The G&T State-Sponsored course number is TX-003-RESP. Jurisdictions may utilize UASI and SHSP grant funding to attend this course. For more information on the G&T State-Sponsored courses, click here.
