“…Although our results indicate that the current EPDM course coverage of the topics from the first cycle is adequate, only two EPDMs seem to have, as of yet, incorporated the skills suggested for the second cycle. This deficit was also noted when considering that only one-third of the programmes incorporated non-university-based multidisciplinary teaching teams to facilitate closer descriptions of the realities of disasters [ 10 , 62 , 74 ], an aspect that should be generally improved by EPDM managers. As a summary, to provide guidance for updates or new potential programmes aimed at healthcare professionals, we have provided evidence-based suggestions in Figure 2 .…”

There is a need for trained health professionals who can swiftly respond to disasters occurring worldwide. Little is known about whether the currently available programmes in disaster management are in line with the recommendations of expert researchers. Our objective was to qualitatively review the characteristics of European educational programmes in health emergency and disaster management and to provide guidance to help improve their curricula. We carried out an integrative review to extract the main characteristics of the 2020/21 programmes available. We identified 34 programmes, the majority located in Spain, the UK or France. The primary qualification types awarded were master’s degrees, half of them lasting one year, and the most common teaching method was in person. Almost all of the programmes used a virtual university classroom, a third offered multidisciplinary disaster management content and teachers, and half of them employed situational simulations. The quality of European educational programmes in health emergency and disaster management has improved, especially in terms of using more practical and interactive teaching methodologies and in the inclusion of relevant topics such as communication, psychological approaches and evaluation of the interventions. However, generally, the educational programmes in disaster management have not yet incorporated the skills related to the intercultural and interprofessional awareness aspects.
