Event Medicine

Event medicine refers to the specialized field of emergency medical services (EMS) that focuses on providing medical care at large gatherings or events, such as concerts, sports, or festivals. It involves planning for potential medical emergencies by assessing the risks associated with the event and ensuring the availability of medical personnel and equipment. In disaster medicine, event medicine principles are applied to manage mass casualty incidents, where resources may be limited. Teams are trained to quickly assess, treat, and transport patients while coordinating with other agencies to ensure a comprehensive response to medical needs during these events.
