Mass Casualty Incident Event 2019 | June 8, 2019

Hello CPHS Students! Each year here at Campbell, the PA Program hosts a Mass Casualty Incident Day on campus. This event is a simulation of a mass casualty incident where the emergency preparedness skills of health professions students are put to the test. In order to make this event both successful and impactful for all of those involved, we need volunteers to help us ensure the event runs smoothly! This year, the MCI will be held on Saturday, June 8th. We need volunteers to help set up, take down and help with all the steps in between. Below is a description of each volunteer role and what will be expected of you as a volunteer at this event. Sign up here<https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0449A9AB23A1FD0-mci2019> if you’re interested in helping out!

IPE credit will be available to all who volunteer!

Volunteer patients: Channel your inner actor/actress to fulfill this fun and exciting role. You will be given a script to help you get into character as well as what your injuries are at check-in. Costume and make-up will be used to make those injuries look as real as possible. Before the MCI scenario begins, members of the committee will help place you in the staging area and answer questions you may have. The drill will begin and emergency medicine personnel as well as students in training will triage you according to your injuries sustained.

A licensed medical professional (MD, DO, PA, NP, etc) will stay by your side the entire time to ensure the students in training are correctly treating you. This process will allow you to stay in character the entire time and no medical background is required! It is recommended to wear clothing you do not mind getting dirty/stained/torn on the day of the MCI to really get you into character. **Please note this may be a traumatic role to play. If violence/trauma is something you are uncomfortable with do not sign up for this role and stay away from the field of play (Maddox hall). Need minimum of 35 volunteers. Maximum of 60 volunteers.

Make-up Artists: Have an interest in helping getting the patients ready for their debut? Now is your shot! We are looking for 11 volunteers to help apply make-up onto our volunteer patients. Make-up not only includes coloring, bruising, etc. but applying prosthetic as well. Experience with theatrical make-up application is preferred but not required. Two to three weeks prior to the event you will be required to attend a moulage class to learn/refresh yourself on the make-up application process. Date TBD.

Date TBD. shifts can be split up into 2 hour increments. 2 people per tent at all times. ~15 volunteers needed
