During the pre-conference sessions, STOPS will host two live, off-site immersive simulation events, an active shooter scenario and a mass casualty scenario. Designed for point-of-injury care, the Surgical Cut Suit and Emergency Medical Services/Tactical Combat Casualty Care (EMS/TCCC) Cut Suit vest can be worn by an actor or zipped around a manikin to simulate traumatic, life-threatening injuries.
