The Disaster Medicine Institute is an online educational institution dedicated to training healthcare professionals, emergency responders, and community leaders in the science and practice of disaster medicine.
The mission of the Disaster Medicine Institute (DMI) is to strengthen health system readiness for disasters and complex emergencies through education and training. The initial hours to days of a disaster, when most of the preventable deaths occur, are almost entirely dependent on local resources. While building acute-phase response capabilities greatly enhances community resiliency, education related to mitigation, preparedness, and response is a crucial area often not fully addressed in disaster planning. This education does not only involve traditional first-responders but rather must reach all levels of healthcare providers.
The Disaster Medicine Institute’s mission is to provide accessible, high-quality education that empowers healthcare professionals to respond effectively in times of crisis, mitigate risks, and enhance public health and safety. Through cutting-edge instruction by leading experts in the field, DMI bridges theory with practical application, making advanced disaster response training attainable to healthcare providers and crisis responders worldwide.
