Course Description

Active Shooter Training in Healthcare is an 8-hour, evidence-based professional course designed to prepare healthcare organizations to prevent, respond to, and recover from active shooter and active threat incidents—while maintaining patient safety, continuity of care, and regulatory compliance.

Led by Brian Natale, Senior Vice President of Physical Asset Growth & Operations at Summit Health, this course provides real-world insight into the unique challenges healthcare environments face during violent critical incidents. Unlike traditional active shooter training, this program is tailored specifically for hospitals, clinics, and healthcare campuses where evacuation is complex, patients may be immobile, and staff must balance life safety with patient care responsibilities.

Instruction focuses on pre-incident indicators, real-time decision-making, coordinated response, and post-incident recovery, emphasizing the roles of clinical staff, security, leadership, and external responders. Participants will learn how facility design, policies, communication protocols, and training directly impact outcomes during an active threat event.

The course also addresses trauma-informed response, reunification, continuity of operations, and organizational recovery, ensuring leaders understand not only how to respond during the incident, but how to support staff, patients, and families afterward.

Designed to meet continuing education standards, this course supports professional development in healthcare safety, workplace violence prevention, emergency preparedness, and crisis response leadership.
