Pediatric Trainee Disaster Elective Curriculum​

This elective equips pediatric trainees and clinicians with the knowledge and skills to effectively prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. Through a flexible, mentor-guided format, learners engage in interactive modules, simulations, and real-world projects tailored to their interests and institutional needs. The experience culminates in a capstone project that applies learning to practical settings, such as community education or hospital preparedness.

What You Will Learn

• Build practical skills across pediatric disaster response—from emergency operations to mass casualty triage and crisis standards of care.
• Apply preparedness concepts to clinical and institutional settings.
• Collaborate with mentors to design and implement a disaster-focused capstone project.
