Civilian Aeromedical Evacuation Sustainment Training
The University of Memphis (UM), Wright State University National Center for Medical Readiness (NCMR), and the Medical Education and Research Institute (MERI) have developed a training program to ensure effective interface between civilian and military operations in the event of a catastrophe requiring aeromedical evacuation. The civilian aeromedical evacuation sustainment (CAEST) training will complement existing military training and will prepare civilian nursing, allied health, public health, and emergency responder personnel to appropriately assess and prepare patients in pre-hospital austere environments and in hospital or other clinical patient collection sites for aeromedical evacuation. Going beyond traditional community first responder training and health system and community disaster management planning, we will address significant issues associated with operations and practice differences between civilian and military systems, such as communications, medical triage, and patient evacuation and transfer protocols and provide hands-on experiences via disaster exercises.
This medical readiness course is free to all healthcare providers, disaster management teams and hospital administrators both military and civilian.
The course is delivered at MERI both days. 8:00 am - 4:30 pm for the first day and 8:00 am - 12:30 pm on the second day.

Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice
The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) presents the Standards for Best Practice in Simulation, consisting of a framework for the following simulation-related topics: Terminology, Professional Integrity of Participant, Participant Objectives, Facilitation Methods, Simulation Facilitator, Debriefing Process, and Evaluation of Expected Outcome. This is a result of a two year collaborative project including input from Nursing Simulation Leaders, the INACSL membership, and expert peer reviewers from healthcare simulation. The standards can be utilized to provide a framework for your simulation program, guide research projects, and attract potential donors.
