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?
March 3, 2023, will be the events' 15th anniversary and will be held at Disaster City in College Station. The Office of Interprofessional Education & Research (IPER) invites all TAMU Health colleges to participate in this interprofessional event.
