The Medical Advisory Group (Richmond) - Sept 10 - In The Moment: Emergency Readiness for Healthcare Professionals

For decades, our civilian response to emergencies has been to simply call 911 and wait for help to arrive. But lessons learned in Virginia and across the nation over the past decade make one thing clear: in the first critical moments of a crisis, your actions matter most.

In this training, participants will gain practical, actionable skills to respond effectively to a range of emergencies — with a special focus on active shooter situations both inside and outside the medical practice.

You and your team will learn how to:

• Build a foundation of individual and collective preparedness in the workplace and at home

• Apply proven resiliency and mindset principles to stay calm and decisive under pressure

• Respond to active shooter threats while protecting patients and staff

• Integrate active shooter protocols into a broader emergency action plan

• Work as a cohesive unit to mitigate emergencies before professional help arrives

Whether the crisis is an active shooter, a violent intruder, or another sudden emergency, this course will help your team understand the plan — and execute it — when every second counts.
