Disaster Day
What is Disaster Day?
Disaster Day is the nation's largest student-led interprofessional emergency response simulation. Interprofessional student teams come together to diagnose, treat and care for volunteer "patients and populations." Participating students are better prepared to respond to emergencies, and learn vital skills to practice collaboratively upon graduation.
When is Disaster Day?
Friday, March 28, 2025, will be the event's 17th anniversary. This day long exercise will be held at Disaster City in College Station. Students from athletic training, dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, psychology, public health and veterinary medicine participate in this interprofessional event.
