  • Summary

    One of the most imperative objectives in planning for medical services at a mass gathering event is determining the number and type of staff members needed. Mass gathering events are typically interdisciplinary in their medical staffing, with prehospital providers, nursing staff, and physicians working together to deliver high quality medical care. In addition to numbers and types of medical staff, planning for adequate support staff to fill logistics, management, and administrative roles is key to the success of the medical plan. Each staff member must also be trained and credentialled and be properly prepared to fill their role. This chapter reviews key considerations when planning staffing for medical events, including elements such as provider training and mindset, staffing models, and special considerations.
