Mass Casualty Incident Management (MCIM) Training Program

The Mass Casualty Incident Management (MCIM) training program is a course developed by CRIMEDIM, in collaboration with CAMLS and Novareckon, for the United Nations (UN). This course, specifically tailored for both medical and non-medical UN personnel, aimed to provide fundamental knowledge and core principles in disaster and major incident management. Our objective was to equip participants with the skills needed to effectively manage complex emergency scenarios, such as terrorist attacks, both in their daily roles at the UN Headquarters and during high-profile events like the General Assembly.

Advanced Training Methodologies

To achieve this goal, CRIMEDIM employed a variety of advanced training methodologies:

• E-Learning: Participants accessed theoretical content in a flexible and interactive manner prior to in-person sessions.

• Discussion-Based Exercises: Facilitated the exchange and sharing of experiences among participants.

• Simulation Tools: From tabletop exercises to mannequins and task trainers, virtual reality, and high-pressure live scenarios, practical applications of acquired knowledge were conducted in realistic settings.

The scenario-based approach included several case studies of realistic terrorist attacks designed to reflect potential situations at the UN headquarters during routine operations and the General Assembly. This provided participants with relevant practice, enhancing their preparedness and responsiveness in real crisis situations.
