Communication Gap: Linking First Responders and First Receivers

This course hopes to bridge the communication gap between first responders (e.g., EMS staff in the field) and first receivers (e.g., emergency room personnel at a hospital) in the event of a terrorist attack. Topics that will be covered in this course include: orientation to duties and expectations of both first responders and first receivers, channels and methods of communication, responder information collection at scene and clear communication guidelines during handoff at a hospital.
