Advanced Disaster Life Support (ADLS): (Offered in conjunction with University of Missouri EMS) – Prerequisite - BDLS

ADLS is a 2-day didactic/hands-on practical application of the concepts learned in BDLS. Small group interactive sessions allow students to work through a series of difficult questions of disaster management in a table top format. The student participates in a variety of skill stations reinforcing the concepts learned in BDLS. The didactic component of ADLS consists of Mass Fatality Management, Legal Issues, Federal, State and Local Resource use. ADLS practical stations include bullet stations, M-A-S-S Triage, Disaster Skills, PPE and Decontamination and Patient Care scenarios. High-fidelity mannequin simulators are used to practice the treatment of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) casualties.
