On Wednesday, April 15, the Northwest College Nursing, EMS, EMT, Paramedics, Outdoor Education, and Criminal Justice Cohorts will be participating in a joint training event based off a mass casualty response incident, providing an opportunity for these students to train on relevant topics and will provide the faculty and staff an opportunity to evaluate students on their competencies.

Throughout the day there will be a significant number of people in and around Colter Hall and the Yellowstone Building, including emergency vehicles, EMT/EMS, and Law Enforcement personnel. There will be individuals involved with the event who are acting as casualties, and their clothing and demeanor will reflect as much. At no time during the training will any of the actors be outside of the control of faculty and/or staff, or in locations other than Colter Hall or the Yellowstone Building. Faculty and Staff involved in the administration and evaluation of the incident will be identifiable by reflective vests and should be contacted if there are any questions.

Many of the vehicles will stage in the parking lot to the south of Colter Hall and will travel in between Colter Hall and the Yellowstone Building. NWC's Safety & Security will be involved to provide logistical support and safety oversight in the training. These activities should not in any way affect the normal daily operations of the college but will be very visible throughout the day.

Training to be better is a hallmark of EMS. To exemplify that our EMS Education Program Director and Lead Instructor took the weekend to go to Riverton and participate with Wyoming EMS for Children in Emergency Pediatric Care course. They will come back to NWC as instructors in this specialized discipline to better assist our students and community.
