COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Members of the University of Missouri's School of Medicine Department of Emergency Medicine will be going through simulated mass casualty training at Faurot Field Wednesday morning.

MU Health Care spokesperson Eric Maze told ABC 17 News that around 24 emergency medicine resident physicians will be engaging in six different scenarios such as cardiac arrest, a field stampede incident, player spinal injury, etc.

In Wednesday's training, trainees will use several actors, mannequins and the Shelden Simulation Mobile Laboratory to help simulate medical incidents on the field.

According to MU Health Care, this training is to make sure physicians are prepared for multiple types of emergencies beyond the walls of the hospital, including at Mizzou football games.

Wednesday's training will begin at 9 a.m. and continue through noon.
