The Sendai Framework advocates the importance of training in disaster medicine as a way to improve health system resilience. In Italy, despite the official recognition of disaster medicine as a mandatory discipline in the standard curriculum, most students are never exposed to its basic concepts. DisasterSISM is a nationwide educational program in disaster medicine developed in 2008.

Abstract
The Sendai Framework advocates the importance of training in disaster medicine as a way to improve health system resilience. In Italy, despite the official recognition of disaster medicine as a mandatory discipline in the standard curriculum, most students are never exposed to its basic concepts. DisasterSISM is a nationwide educational program in disaster medicine developed in 2008. Given the scarcity of experienced instructors, in 2013, the course adopted a peer-assisted learning (PAL) approach to correct the omission identified in the national curriculum. The new approach involved a training of trainers (ToT) and a basic course organized and delivered by certified student teachers.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
