Summary:
Disaster Medicine is a broad and dynamic field that encompasses the medical and surgical response to mass casualty incidents including rail, air and road traffic accidents, domestic terrorism, and pandemic outbreaks, as well as the global issues of conflict and natural catastrophe.
With conflict and catastrophe never far from today’s news, Disaster Medicine is growing in importance for all medics at home as well as abroad.
