AB Mass  gathering  medical  care  refers  to  the  provision  of  medical  services  to  organized  events  or  venues  with  relatively  large  numbers  of  people  in  a  defined  geographic  area.  Typically,  mass  gatherings  are  considered  to  be  events  that  have  at  least  1000  people;  however,  this  does  not  have  to  be  the  case.1,2  In  fact,  large  organizations  including  the  World  Health  Organization  and  the  U.S.  Federal  Emergency  Management  Administration  do  not  focus  on  the  number  of  attendees  when  defining  mass  gatherings;  rather,  they  recognize  the  impact  on  the  surrounding  resources.
