Radiological and Nuclear Terrorism: Medical Response to Mass Casualties
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

The purpose of this interactive self-study training is to provide clinician education on local medical response to mass casualties during the immediate aftermath of a radiological or nuclear terrorism incident. This program has two parts: 1) a series of six 5 to 20 minute lectures on potential radiological and nuclear incidents, emergency response planning, mass decontamination principles, triage, treatment and pharmacotherapy, and 2) a series of six simulated patient case studies designed to provide an opportunity to apply the lecture material. Each of the six studies depicts a hypothetical radiological terrorism incident. Supplemental literature and Web-based training resources are also provided.
