Medical Response to Major Incidents & Disasters MRMI

What Medical Response to Major Incidents & Disasters MRMI does

MRMI Slovenia (Sekcija UZVN / MRMI – Ukrepanje zdravstva ob velikih nesrečah) is a professional section of the Slovenian Medical Association (Slovensko zdravniško društvo) that delivers specialized training for healthcare professionals in medical response to major incidents and disasters. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Ljubljana, the organization targets prehospital emergency responders, hospital emergency department staff, emergency medicine residents, HazMat/CBRN specialists, and healthcare managers. The core offering is the MRMI Course, an annual January training program that combines theoretical instruction with practical simulation exercises using the proprietary MACSIM (Medical Response to Major Incidents Simulation) interactive platform, delivered on the Franc Uršič army base in Novo mesto. Each cycle trains approximately 100+ participants across prehospital (60 seats), hospital (40 seats), and radio communication precourse (40 seats) tracks.

The product portfolio has expanded beyond the original MRMI course to include NNS/HazMat courses (focused on chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear incidents), co-organized with the Poison Control Centre, plus supporting educational materials: the MACSIM Student Manual, guidelines for emergency medical system response in mass casualty incidents, and recommendations for intervention services in highway blockades. Delivery is supported by Google Classroom, a YouTube channel hosting MACSIM tutorials (Introduction, Dashboard, Analytics), and a bilingual Slovenian/English website. The organization has been the only medical training that continued operating during COVID-19 anti-restriction periods, underscoring its institutional resilience.

MRMI operates as a section within the nonprofit Slovenian Medical Association rather than as an independent commercial entity, with payment processing routed through SZD. Revenue is generated primarily through course registration fees that vary by participant status: 450 EUR standard, 400 EUR for ESTES members, and 250–280 EUR for Slovenian healthcare workers when subsidized by the Ministry of Health. HazMat courses price at 450 EUR early bird or 550 EUR late registration, while NNS courses are offered free of charge under Ministry of Health patronage. Strategic partnerships include the Ministry of Health (financial patron and credentialing body), the Slovenian Medical Association (host institution), the Poison Control Centre (HazMat co-organizer), ESTES (international member discount), and the EU cross-border project MAXAID (international cohort in 2023). The organization participates in the European Congress of Trauma and Emergency Surgery (ECTES) as a precongress course host.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• PHTLS (Prehospital Trauma Life Support): NAEMT-administered global prehospital trauma training program with classroom and simulation components targeting EMS personnel. Directly comparable in audience (prehospital responders) and delivery format, though focused on individual trauma rather than mass-casualty coordination.
• ITLS (International Trauma Life Support): International trauma training organization delivering courses for EMS and emergency providers on assessment and treatment of trauma patients. Comparable as a peer professional training body with international chapter structure targeting similar learner segments.
• MIMMS (Major Incident Medical Management and Support): UK-based ALSG program delivering training in medical management of major incidents and mass casualty events to healthcare professionals. Direct peer to MRMI because it addresses the same customer base (prehospital and hospital staff) with a parallel methodology and course catalog.
• MRMI Austria: Austrian national MRMI section using the same MACSIM-based methodology to train healthcare workers in major incident response. Closest peer because it operates the identical curriculum in a neighboring market with similar hospital/EMS structure.

Emerging players

• Disaster Medicine Fellowship Programs (e.g., BIDMC Disaster Medicine Fellowship): Specialized post-residency fellowship programs in disaster and emergency medicine offered by academic medical centers. Comparable as an alternative training pathway for the same emergency medicine resident audience that MRMI Slovenia serves.
• Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC / TCCC): Committee developing tactical emergency casualty care guidelines and training programs used by EMS, law enforcement, and military medical personnel. Comparable as an emerging framework competing for the same high-acuity prehospital training budget.

Broad incumbents

• European Resuscitation Council (ERC): Pan-European body setting resuscitation and emergency care training standards and accrediting courses across multiple emergency medicine domains. Comparable as a broader incumbent in emergency medicine education that competes for the same training hours and ministry funding.
• ESTES (European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery): European professional society for trauma and emergency surgery that hosts educational events and precongress courses including MRMI. Adjacent incumbent because it aggregates demand from the same surgical and emergency physician audience through its congresses and guidelines work.
• NAEMT (National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians): US-based professional association delivering multiple EMS education programs (PHTLS, AMLS, EPC, GEMS) with international chapter reach. Comparable as a large incumbent that defines EMS training standards and could expand competing methodologies into the Slovenian/Central European market.
• WADEM (World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine): International multidisciplinary association for disaster medicine that convenes training, congresses, and publishes standards for mass casualty response. Comparable as a higher-level convener that shapes the disaster-medicine training market MRMI Slovenia operates in.
