CBRN is one of the high-risk, high-security areas.
Highly contagious, life-threatening diseases such as Ebola virus infections are rare, but in real-life situations, they require the utmost attention and expertise. Any suspected case of a high-infection infection is an interdisciplinary emergency and requires highly coordinated cooperation between rescue workers, emergency services, authorities, transport companies, and other involved individuals.
In addition to high-quality equipment, regular training and exercises in the CBRN field are not only essential, but also legally required in the respective disaster plans.
With our MED ON BOARD | Academy for Innovative Medical Education and Training, we have been offering certified emergency medical training for over 20 years. Under the name MEDICAL BIODEFENSE TRAINING, we have developed a highly realistic training program primarily aimed at medical personnel and emergency responders.
