Advanced Disaster Medical Response

The Advanced Disaster Medical Response (ADMR) Course is an innovative online program designed for multidisciplinary disaster responders working in domestic or international settings and across a wide range of disaster scenarios. Built around real-world disaster response, the interactive, modular format allows learners to develop knowledge relevant to their roles and response needs.

ADMR was developed in cooperation with the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Surgery’s International Trauma and Disaster Institute (ITDI), with contributions from 28 medical subject matter experts with extensive disaster response experience.

Principles of Disaster Medical Response—Core Modules

The ADMR curriculum begins with Principles of Disaster Medical Response, a foundational package of seven core modules that provides essential knowledge for multidisciplinary disaster response.

Completion of the Core Modules package is required before enrolling in any additional ADMR packages.

The Core Modules package is available in three options:

• CME Version

Additional ADMR Learning Opportunities

Additional advanced ADMR modules are under development and are planned for release as separate optional module packages. These packages will expand on specialized topics in disaster medical response and will require separate registration and purchase. Additional information, including availability, content, and pricing, will be announced as packages become available.
