Emergo Faculty at CHUM
The Emergo Faculty at CHUM is the only institution in North America—and the only French-speaking institution in the world—to offer the Emergo instructor training program. Its mission is to train instructors capable of designing and facilitating Emergo simulations within their own environments, thereby improving team preparedness for emergency situations.
What is the Emergo Train System?
The Emergo Train System (ETS) is a learning and simulation tool developed by Swedish experts in disaster medicine and traumatology. The Emergo method is used to test and evaluate emergency and disaster response plans. The tool can be adapted to any scenario or context.
This method relies on specialized educational materials and structured exercises that enable organizations to test, assess, and optimize their response plans during major emergency situations. Through immersive scenarios and physical representations of victims with varying injuries, ETS provides teams with a realistic training environment where they can test their skills, improve coordination, and strengthen collective reflexes before a real disaster occurs.
Testing Emergency Situations Through Simulation
The Emergo method uses a structured educational approach to recreate, analyze, and manage different emergency situations using scenarios inspired by real or potential events. This approach encourages the practical application of crisis planning and management skills: participants must analyze, make decisions, coordinate, and observe the consequences of their actions in a controlled yet realistic environment.
This type of simulation is especially useful for exploring situations that are difficult to reproduce otherwise, such as:
- large-scale events (e.g., a mass-casualty incident),
- complex environments (e.g., multiple services or partners involved),
- sensitive situations (e.g., events with high emotional or media impact).
It helps identify strengths, challenges, and areas for improvement within a system without disrupting real-world operations.
Why take the Emergo instructor training?
The Emergo instructor training offered by the Emergo Faculty of the CHUM is intended for anyone involved in emergency preparedness or crisis management. It provides all the necessary skills to plan, facilitate, and evaluate Emergo exercises tailored to the realities of your organization.
Once certified, instructors become fully equipped to design scenarios, guide teams through exercises, and leverage the full potential of the Emergo method to enhance preparedness, coordination, and resilience during real-world crises.
