Teams of trainees work to save their patients while instructors pour blood over the bodies during the course's final simulation. Smoke and a sound effects tape filled with screaming and explosions are used to disrupt the trainees.
Sawyer Alberi leads RISC trainees as they approach the scene of a mass-casualty incident during the final simulation on the course's last day. This drill simulates a medical emergency in a combat zone. The students must attend to their patients while dealing with an array of stressors and distractions.
