My thesis is on mass casualty incidents, which is when you have emergencies that have more people injured and require more resources than you have on hand, and how to deal with situations like that. Through the program, I’ve had the opportunity to talk with and learn from representatives from a bunch of different departments around Boston. I’m working with Boston University’s EMS program and people from Boston EMS, the city ambulance provider. I’m also working with people from the Boston Fire Department and people that have loads of experience, both nationally and internationally. I’ve also had the opportunity through the program to talk to a lot of experts that have experience with some of the federal emergency management organizations, running disasters and those kinds of situations. We also do a lot of simulation work in class. Having the ability to think through and pick the brains of all these people I’ve been able to meet has been really interesting.
