Mock Casualty Training on Campus April 15

A mock, mass casualty drill be will be conducted by students from the School of Nursing on Monday, April 15, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the A.J. Palumbo Center’s auxiliary gym basketball courts.

During the training drill, senior-level students will treat the mock injuries of freshman nursing students who will serve as patients. Moulage techniques (the use of makeup and theater methods) will be used to simulate traumatic injuries as part of the casualty drill.

The School of Nursing conducts the mass casualty drill as an experiential learning method for the Service Learning and Professional Concepts and Issues courses.

Members of the Department of Public Safety and CitiParks arts instructors will also participate in the drill.
