Disaster Day

Disaster Day

By: Tori Chambers, Texas A&M University 

Each year, Texas A&M University hosts the nation’s largest student-led interprofessional emergency response simulation, known as Disaster Day. This event allows students from the colleges of Veterinary Medicine, Pharmacy, Public Health, Nursing, and Medicine to collaborate with the Corps of Cadets and the Texas State Guard to practice emergency response on a grand scale.

Each year, there is a unique catastrophe presented for students to manage. Last year’s simulation was an earthquake that resulted building collapses and a train derailment; the year before was a research plant explosion that devastated the entire neighborhood. With actors covered in makeup and bandages as well as first responders, hard-hats, and mock animal cases, this disaster teaches students the appropriate response skills needed for such situations and allows them to learn the interprofessional channels of communication required when an entire community is affected by crisis.
