THREE RIVERS COLLEGE TO HOLD MASS CASUALTY TRAINING EVENT Three Rivers College will hold its bi-annual mass casualty training event today.
The event will be held on the Westwood Campus of Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center. The training helps prepare students in participating programs for a mass casualty emergency such as a natural disaster or terrorist attack.
Students from several fields of study will participate in the training, including three classes of nursing, EMT, LPN, and Paramedic students. The training will also receive support from local hospitals and ambulance services.
In keeping with the training’s focus on realism, the students themselves will coordinate much of the event, with students serving in leadership and command/control positions.
The college is also keeping the type of “disaster” under wraps, so that students have no chance to prepare beforehand.
