“Heads Up!” Toxicology

Objectives: 1.To improve knowledge of CBRNE events 2. To understand the role of antidotal therapy and decontamination in CBRNE emergencies 3. To practice resuscitation in simulated CBRNE casesCurricular Design: This module was developed by content expert teams in conjunction with a disaster management educational programmer to teach CBRNE emergencies.The teams sought to improve knowledge, skills, and attitudes for six emergency topics: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), nerve agents, botulism, airway irritants, radiation, and cyanide.The sessions utilized various teaching methods including simulationbased resuscitations, hands-on practical training, case-based presentations, and table-top discussions.This was taught over a 2.5-hour session at a single accredited EM Post Graduate Year (PGY) 1-3 Residency Program to EM residents.Impact: There were 36 learners given 14 objective content questions pre-and post-curriculum implementation.We received 35 responses to the pre-test and 22 responses to the post-test.The average score on the pre-test was 43% and 77.6% on the posttest (34.6% improvement).There were significant improvements in scores overall with a mean difference of 4.9 (95%CI 3.7-6.0)(p<0.001).See table 1. Conclusion: Implementation of CBRNE educational curriculum significantly improved knowledge at every PGY level on CBRNE-related emergencies.
