Are you looking for disaster courses that won’t break the bank and are applicable to nurses? Oftentimes, courses are geared towards physicians, and a collaborative class can be beneficial, but if the instructors can’t relate the content to the field of nursing, is it even worth attending?

University of Lynchburg has expanded their programs to include Nurses, APRNs, and PAs. These are just some of the courses that you can take: Emergency and Disaster Management, Extreme Medicine, Humanitarian Medicine Certificate | University of Lynchburg. I look forward to being a part of their faculty this fall to enhance the nurses experience in these courses.

There is also the Disaster Medicine Fellowship | BIDMC | Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians. Not only am I a graduate of the fellowship, but I am now faculty for the program. I share this because I want nurses to be able to learn from a multidisciplinary team of leaders in the field and that should include nurses as well.

These are just two that I am affiliated with, but there are more out there. When looking for a program, make sure that the course fosters diverse learners as that is how we can learn from each other. In addition, make sure that the cohort is mixed, because if each discipline has its own course, then we will continue to work in silos and that defeats the purpose of these programs!
