FEMA USAR Training with CATF1, Part 1
On this episode, we are featuring a recent FEMA USAR Medical Specialist Training class taught by Dr. Joe Holley. Joe was at the NASA Ames Research Facility in California. Joining Joe from Tennessee Task Force 1 USAR team was 20-year firefighter-paramedic Patrick McDevitt who went out to California to help with the training there. This course included a full California DMAT deployment alongside the USAR training to practice taking patient handoff and management.
Check out this special episode talking about this amazing training program with hands-on training in collapsed training structures to give the trainees real-life experience.
Also on the show were co-hosts Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis, the Podmedic, as well as our Disaster Weather expert Kyle Nelson.
