Campus Emergency Preparedness and Survival Training (EPAST)
Using cutting-edge virtual reality technology, our Campus EPAST concepts are an engaging, immersive, and realistic platform to reinforce skills and techniques for the modern learner. In addition, our EMS specialists use innovative learning platforms, such as high-fidelity simulation and targeted, hands-on practice. Upon completion, the institution and/or its personnel will earn a renewable certification from UT Southwestern if specific requirements are met.
We offer various versions of this course to better fit our community’s needs. Each version is customized to certify a facility and/or its personnel in preparedness disciplines deemed necessary for that type of institution. For example, the Campus EPAST Education Institution course involves training for employees in competencies such as active shooter mitigation and response, CPR, and bleeding control.
