Program PP

Program PP is the Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents (PER-902) course and the Hospital Emergency Response Training Train-the-Trainer (PER-903-1) course.

PER-902 Course Description
The 24-hour HERT for MCI course is designed to provide medical operation guidance to hospitals, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), healthcare facility personnel, and others who may become involved in an MCI as a result of a natural, accidental, or intentional event. The course assists the healthcare responder in understanding the relationship between a Hospital Incident Command System (HICS), a scene Incident Command System (ICS), and other IMS used by municipal Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) during all manners of emergencies; addresses PPE requirements; and presents guidance for HERT design, development, and training. This course helps prepare facilities and agencies to conduct a safe and effective emergency medical response to MCI. This is a hands-on course, and participants must be physically and psychologically fit to wear PPE during the training. HERT MCI culminates with the application of this training in small- and large-group, facilitated practical exercises.

PER-903-1 Course Description
The eight-hour HERT TtT course is designed to provide instructional presentation guidance specific to HERT-HT course materials. Healthcare responders will serve as trainers for the team within their facility. The course assists the healthcare responders in understanding presentation
techniques, conducting practical application, and preparing and maintaining lesson plans appropriate to HERT requirements. It provides the healthcare responder with an understanding of HERT-HT course material that will be presented at his or her facility to include the following: team assignments and functions, proper wear and removal of Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE), decontamination procedures, Emergency Treatment Area (ETA) location selection and operation, and victim triage. This is a basic training course, providing a capability to conduct local HERT follow-up capability training; it does not certify the HERT healthcare responder as an instructor.
