It is call DMEP - the ACS Disaster Management & Emergency Preparedness Course has, as a subset of its course material a description of blast injuries.  The bad news is that this information was available and known becasue of YEARS of experience throughtout the world as a result of lessons learned from terroism, but not taught for some reason.....actually not taught 'cause folks just didn't seem to care.
Whille the DMEP course is just one of several courses that teach the pathophysiology of blasts, it is the one that I am most familiar with.  Check out the ACS web site for details, or contact me off-line,

Since the war in Iraq has developed an impressive skill set for 
trauma teams overseas. I was wondering what we are doing in the 
United States to transfer these skills and encourage training of 
trauma team members here; in case we start seeing similar blast 
injuries stateside?
