In this special episode, we talk about what it takes to create a customized, large-scale drill for training first responders and you community health services in the event of a disaster, man-made or natural. We focus especially on how the gang at Paragon Medical Education Group assemble their customized training experiences.

Dr. Joe Holley from Paragon walks co-host Sam Bradley through a hypothetical active shooter drill in a suburban community. We talk about working with all local resources, bringing in stake-holders, and lining up opportunities to train local educators for first responders.

Joining Joe and Sam on this episode are co-host Jamie Davis, the Podmedic and Becky DePodwin.
