What happens when there is an active violent incident or mass casualty incident and your hospital gets 20 or 50 or 100 casualties immediately following? Your non-trauma hospitals will receive patients following an MCI because the trauma centers will be overwhelmed.

Recent Mass Casualty Incident examples:

  • Pulse Nightclub, ORMC: the first 36 casualties in 36 minutes
  • Sunrise Hospital Las Vegas: 215 casualties in 90 minutes
  • Christ Church Hospital, New Zealand: 41 casualties in 45 minutes

A First Receiver is the first hospital or health care facility that will get traumatic casualties from an active violent incident (AVI) or mass casualty event (MCE). This course is designed for ED physicians, nurses, ED techs, and providers at non-trauma center hospitals who will receive patients after a mass casualty incident when there are so many wounded that every local hospital is getting patients.

This course moves Tactical Emergency Casualty Care and Tactical Combat Casualty Care Guidelines into the Emergency Department.

  • How do you allocate resources? 
  • How do you manage the chaos? 
  • Based on historical samples, you will run out of supplies, resources, and personnel. What do you do when you run out?

This course addresses the impacts of MCI events in the emergency department and focuses heavily on active shooter/active violent events.

We will give you a plan and arm you with the questions you need to improve your hospital’s plan. This isn’t surge capacity, it’s throughput and saving lives.First Receivers On-Notification Quick Checklist

Students will receive a laminated Quick Reference chart after enrollment.

...Practical learning tools that can be taken directly to the clinical care setting

Having just completed this website’s Complete TC2 course, I found this course to be an excellent summary/review of the key concepts of TCCC/TECC with the important addition of how these skills can be applied to a community mass casualty event. Dr. Shertz is an excellent instructor and provides practical learning tools that can be taken directly to the clinical care setting.

A fantastic addition to the TCCC/TECC curriculum provided by Crisis Medicine

The First Receiver course is a fantastic addition to the TCCC/TECC curriculum provided by Crisis Medicine. The course material provides a unique look at the critical transition point from prehospital to emergency room care in a mass casualty incident.

The course material is extremely valuable for physicians and advanced practice providers who work in hospitals. As a physician, I appreciated the lessons not only on treatment, but also the logistical and practical considerations on handling an overwhelming number of patients with limited resources. The information provided is data driven, and the lessons are scalable from small community hospitals to large academic medical centers.

This course also provides valuable training for military providers, particularly those in role 1 and 2 medical treatment facilities operating in an austere environment.

...These events require a mindset change from typical emergency responses...

I decided to take this class because I am a forward-deployed medic, working in the only clinic on-site, and we have a high probability of experiencing a mass casualty event. Though we train for this weekly, it has always seemed as though we don't move efficiently through our patient load and never quite understood why.

Now, after viewing this course, I now understand that these events require a mindset change from typical emergency responses. I am now better prepared to go to my seniors and advocate for changes, as well as better train my juniors. Thank you for yet another exceptional class.

    ...When Dr. Shertz speaks, I listen and take notes...

    The First Receivers course is a must have in your medical knowledge tool bag to ensure you and your medical facility are prepared for mass casualty events. Outstanding recommendations that include cutting edge tactics, tips, and procedures (TTPs), will increase your preparedness and that of your facility to handle worst case scenarios. This is the fourth course I have taken with Crisis Medicine. You will be extremely hard pressed to find any equal in on-line medical training than that given by Dr. Shertz. As former Army combat veteran, West Point instructor, and current Red Cross licensed training provider, Coast Guard Auxiliarist, lifeguard, and diver...when Dr. Shertz speaks, I listen and take notes. Enroll in this course, it will increase your ability to save lives and help your organization to improve, and be well worth the money and time invested. Regards, Matt Ballard LTC, USA (Ret.) MEDTAC-6 L.L.C.

    This is a very good course that teaches you how to switch your mindset from traditional ER care to a mass casualty care way of thinking. In this course, Dr Shertz's experience offers great ideas for planning for mass casualties. I am currently taking my third course offered by Crisis Medicine; the information is always current and evidence-based.

    This is a must course if you work in a health care facility or hospital!

    This was one of the most thoroughly detailed courses about mass casualties and trauma. Dr. Shertz explains in detail how to approach/prepare/manage a situation where there are mass casualties coming into your hospital. There is proven data in this course from recent catastrophic events that shows Dr. Shertz is all factual! Great course indeed and well put together!
