Disasters can pose a major threat to human life and operations. The rising frequency of these catastrophic events creates an alarming burden on emergency support systems. Given the unique challenges associated with each disaster event, it is critical to minimize resource gaps and prioritize strategies to augment existing response systems. The practice of working in teams with collaborative partners, as opposed to working in silos, will reduce impact and save costs. The current state of the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of healthcare to the well-being of our global communities. Therefore, a high-performing interprofessional collaborative education on disaster management is paramount.
