Emergency, Disaster, Outbreak, and Crisis Medicine Training:
Education for the Frontline
When emergencies, disasters, outbreaks, or conflict strike, preparedness saves lives. AidUP by Lecturio delivers evidence-based Disaster Casualty Care (DCC), infectious disease, and humanitarian health education to community health workers, doctors, nurses, first responders, and emergency planners, anywhere in the world, online or offline.
The next crisis won't wait for your workforce to catch up
From earthquakes and floods to armed conflict and disease outbreaks, today’s emergencies overwhelm health systems that were never built for them. The WHO projects a global shortfall of more than 10 million health workers by 2030, concentrated in the very low- and middle-income countries most exposed to crisis. Even well-resourced hospitals struggle when mass-casualty events, novel pathogens, or sustained conflict push staff beyond their training.
AidUP closes that readiness gap. Developed with leading disaster medicine, infectious disease, disaster mental health, and humanitarian experts, AidUP turns proven Lecturio learning technology into a rapid-deploy capability for any healthcare workforce that must be ready to respond.
A complete curriculum for crisis-ready healthcare workforces
AidUP’s modular curriculum spans a wide arc of disaster and humanitarian response, from outbreak surveillance to mass casualty triage to the long psychological tail of frontline work. Each module is led by clinicians and academics with real operational experience, and can be deployed as a complete program or integrated into your existing training pathways.
Disaster Casualty Care (DCC)
The clinical and operational core of AidUP. Covers mass casualty triage, trauma care in austere environments, prehospital and tactical medicine, blood and resuscitation strategy under resource constraints, and the casualty logistics of large-scale emergencies. Built around best-practice guidance for civilian disasters, conflict zones, and humanitarian settings.
Infectious Disease Outbreak Management
Practical, evidence-based training on detecting, containing, and clinically managing infectious disease outbreaks: Ebola, Mpox, viral hemorrhagic fevers, respiratory pandemics, and emerging zoonoses. Includes case definition, isolation and PPE protocols, contact tracing, surveillance, risk communication, treatment standards (including Ansuvimab for Ebola), and lessons from recent and ongoing outbreaks. Developed with experts who have led national and international outbreak responses on the front line.
Mental Health & Psychological (MHPSS)
Preparedness for humanitarian workers based on a
non-stigmatizing, continuum-based mental health curriculum for personnel exposed to chronic trauma, moral injury, and life-or-death decision-making in resource-limited settings. Developed with former senior military psychiatrists who have shaped UN and NATO mental health strategy for uniformed and deployed personnel.
Hospital Management in Disaster and Conflict Settings
Leadership, governance, and operational decision-making for hospital administrators and medical commanders facing surge, infrastructure damage, supply disruption, or active conflict. Designed with faculty whose careers span national health systems and military medical command.
Frontline & Community Health Worker Readiness
Microlearning modules for community health workers, midwives, nurses, and lay first responders in fragile and displacement settings, engineered to work on low-end devices, offline, and across literacy levels.
