The National Disaster Life Support Education Consortium™
The National Disaster Life Support Education Consortium™ (NDLSEC™) is an unincorporated association jointly sponsored by the American Medical Association (AMA) and National Disaster Life Support Foundation (NDLSF™) and convened by the AMA. NDLSEC™ is a multidisciplinary consortium tasked to provide the requisite knowledge and expertise for the regular review and critique of the National Disaster Life Support™ (NDLS™) courses. Its goal is to establish nationally recognized, standardized, and multidisciplinary curricula to train health professionals to respond to disasters and other public health emergencies in an effective and coordinated manner using an all-hazards approach.
The NDLSEC™ is comprised of a national coalition of professional organizations, academic centers, medical centers, government partners, and corporations that seek to further refine and re-define the science of medical disaster education and management. The association is responsible for providing program content input and recommendations for the National Disaster Life Support™ (NDLS™) training programs, including Advanced (ADLS™), Basic (BDLS®), Core (CDLS®), and additional courses under development.
