Training underpins all that we do
International Medical Corps helps those hit by disaster recover from adversity and strengthen their response capacity through training. This training prepares them to be their own best First Responders.
Impact through Training
Training has always been a central pillar of our mission. Preparation and knowledge promote confidence and independence. We train thousands of people each year from local communities, national, regional and local governments and non-government groups, including health professionals, to prepare for emergencies as they make the journey from relief to self-reliance.
