STUDY OBJECTIVE: To reinforce concepts presented in the lectures; understand the
complexity and speed of casualty and information generation during a Weapons of Mass
Destruction and Terrorism (WMD/T) event; experience the novelty of combined weapons'
effects; recognize the time course of the various chemical, biological, and radiation agents;
and make challenging decisions with incomplete and conflicting information. SETTINGS:
Two environments simulated simultaneously: one a major trauma center emergency room …
