Illinois JumpSTART© Training

JumpSTART^© is a pediatric triage process that is utilized during a mass casualty event. In an effort to educate prehospital personnel, first responders and other healthcare professionals about JumpSTART^©, Illinois EMSC is utilizing grant funds to sponsor JumpSTART^© train-the-trainer sessions throughout the state. For further information, please contact Anna Sherry at asherry@luriechildrens.org.

In 2019, the Illinois JumpSTART Triage Training Curriculum underwent revisions. Updates were made to both the Instructor and Provider Courses. For a crosswalk of the revisions please see the Overview of the 2019 Revisions to the Pediatric Disaster Triage: Utilizing the JumpSTART Method Instructor and Provider Course Curriculum document.

A refresher training can consist of reviewing the instructor module and materials on the EMSC website to ensure the most current materials are being utilized.
