The ability to make accurate decisions is an important part of disaster and emergency medicine. Training for this requires educated instructors who can practice and evaluate the performance of different categories of staff involved in the medical management of disasters and major incidents.
These instructors should also be familiar with simulation exercises based on real scenarios, with realistic resources, real capacity of different medical facilities and training sessions performed in real time. One way to achieve this is to use the Emergo Train system® (ETS), a simulation system that can be designed to fit any scenario in any setting; ETS has been used for training and simulation in disaster medicine in several countries during the last decades.
A Senior Emergo Train Instructor is the head instructor in an Emergo Train Simulation exercise. He/she is responsible for setting up the course objectives and ensuring they are adequately achieved. Approval of the course results in certification as an ETS Senior instructor.
There are now (September 2022) over 2 600 certified ETS Senior instructors. The international Senior instructor courses are held by the ETS Competence Centre at KMC - Centre for Teaching & Research in Disaster Medicine and Traumatology in Sweden. National courses are held by ETS Educator faculties in Sweden, United Kingdom, Finland, The Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea and United Arab Emirates.
The Senior instructor course can also be conducted on request in other countries. For further information, please contact the ETS Competence centre.
