Mass Casualty Simulation System
MACSIM (Mass Casualty Simulation System) is a scientifically validated simulation system for education, training and testing of Medical Response to Major Incidents and Disaster. Developed by international disaster medicine experts, it proves realistic scenarios for effective crisis management.
Based on extensive experience
MACSIM was developed by an international group of experts in Disaster Medicine from several countries under the leadership of the late Professor Sten Lennquist, well recognised for his contributions in the field , with commitments from the Swedish Government, the European Union (EU), the World Health Organization (WHO) and several countries in different parts of the world.
Practise different scenarios
As a user of MACSIM you can choose various scenarios you wish to train. Our scenarios are based on previous major incidents including terror attacks, fires, maritime incidents, traffic accidents, military conflicts etc. To provide realistic scenarios to train in is key in on order to find bottlenecks and shortcomings of preparedness plans.
MRMI and more
The MRMI (Medical Response to Major Incidents) course is a standardised, interactive training program using the MACSIM simulation system to teach uniform disaster response methodology, enhancing decision-making skills across all command levels, with over 10 000 participants trained from more than 30 countries since 2009.
Military, hospitals, researchers, companies and more
MACSIM is used by military organisations for training of military medical personell and soldiers to handle combat injuries and provide basic and advanced life-support. It has also ben used to test NATO doctrines in maritime setting with medical teams from different countries working in different naval vessels.
