Abstract

Trauma care during a disaster may require unusual or unique approaches. The Medical College of Pennsylvania Hospital has developed a physician field response team designed to respond to mass casualty incidents. The team has been mobilized on multiple occasions and its approach refined with each experience. The process of developing a team is presented along with "lessons learned" during the 15 years the team has been in use.
