The purpose of this study is to determine students' perceptions of and following a planned mass casualty simulation.

Primary Aim: To determine students' perceptions on teamwork, communication, confidence, and what students learned.

Pre-Survey Before Simulation:

• Students who consent to participate will complete the survey before the planned mass casualty simulation.
• Survey includes basic demographic information (age, gender, race/ethnicity, discipline)
• Survey includes five questions about student confidence prior to the simulation.
• Estimated completion time: 5 minutes

Post-Survey (After Simulation):

• After completing the planned mass casualty session, students will complete the attached post simulation survey via Microsoft forms
• Estimated completion time: 5 minutes

Debrief Post Simulation Students who will be broken up into groups of 10 and asked the following debriefing questions. All students will be asked to participate in the debrief as part of the planned mass casualty simulation. There is no grading attached to the debrief for any student. Their responses will be recorded and de-identified. Students may leave at any time. The attached debrief questions (created by the researchers) will be asked by the faculty participating in the planned mass casualty event. Estimated completion time 20-30 minutes.
