The Bombings: Injury Patterns and Care curriculum was developed through the Linkages of Acute Care and EMS to State and Local Injury Prevention Programs project that was funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) served as the lead grantee for the project along with the following six other organizations:

American Medical Association (AMA)
American Trauma Society (ATS)
National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP)
National Association of EMT’s (NAEMT)
National Association of State EMS Officials (NASEMSO)
National Native American EMS Association (NNAEMSA)

A task force was established with representative experts from emergency medicine including physicians, surgeons, nurses, and EMS. Core competencies and knowledge objectives were developed using a consensus approach. A writing group then developed teaching objectives and course content based on the core competencies.

The Bombings: Injury Patterns and Care curriculum is designed to be the minimum content that should be included in any all-hazards disaster response training program. This content is designed to update the student with the latest clinical information regarding blast related injuries from terrorism.
