Summary
The chapter describes the training needs of international EMTs and how these might best be met and the training delivered. This is a three-step approach of first completing in country speciality training, then training to adapt that to the austere environment, and finally a full simulated operational deployment to exercise as a team. Immediately prior to a specific deployment additional “just-in-time” training may be required.
