Their impact of these programs is felt across the healthcare spectrum with participants including:

Advanced HAZMAT Life Support (AHLS) is a program of continuing education courses that train medical professionals to manage patients exposed to hazardous materials.
Participants learn to rapidly assess hazmat patients and recognize toxic syndromes. Courses were created in collaboration between the AEMRC and the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology (AACT) and are offered throughout the nation and around the world.
The University of Arizona, the University of New Mexico (UNM), and New Mexico State University (NMSU) have created the Critical Response and Emergency Systems Training (CREST) program through a cooperative agreement with Human Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
CREST offers a variety of courses on emergency preparedness focusing on all-hazards training ranging from basic, introductory courses to advanced courses and hands-on drills. The courses are presented by qualified healthcare professionals and are available in face-to-face, CD and online formats.
