“Everyone working in the field builds on their own experiences … but the Missioncraft course surprised me with the level of knowledge that was built from different experiences by different people. The training has allowed us to mitigate risk in my organization … In Missioncraft, I met a team that cares and new teachers for life. Our team is still using the forms and guidelines and it has become a bible to our organization. I hope to be able to bring this training to my country and my people.” – Yaroup Ajlouni, President, Jordan Health Aid Society (JHAS-International), Missioncraft 2015 participant

“Missioncraft was a challenging program … a semester-long, Master’s level curriculum over five intense and dynamic days. The facilitators came with a wealth of knowledge and the class participants possessed broad experience that enriched the discussions in a top-notch setting. This was a unique opportunity and what I learned has impacted my knowledge tenfold. I was likely the novice of the class and the tools provided will strengthen my practice going forward.” – Monica Staples, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Center for Disaster Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Missioncraft 2015 participant

“Our training [in Missioncraft 2014] helped a lot during the preparation [for Typhoon Ruby in the Phillippines]. While I was very surprised when Tacloban City Hospital was assigned to serve as another headquarters or command center during the typhoon, we were really prepared. We held pre-typhoon meetings so that, at the height of the storm, all were stationed in their respective posts with no overlapping of tasks. We also held post-Ruby meetings to discuss what was effective and what was not and the lessons from being prepared as compared to [Typhoon] Yolanda experience.” – Dr. Joedina Gumgay, Chief, Tacloban City Hospital, Philippines, Missioncraft 2014 participant
