About EMS and Disaster Medicine

New Orleans is one of the best places to train in Disaster Medicine. Our disaster team has been critical in providing emergency management to disasters ranging from category 4 hurricanes to mass casualty incidents. The team has also been essential in setting up emergency medical stations to ease the burden on acute care hospitals during the early days of the covid-19 pandemic. Our team hosts monthly disaster journal clubs, annual HazMat Day, and partners with local and state health organizations to provide disaster medicine to our communities.
