SELF RESPONDER
The threat has been neutralized and people are bleeding out, what do you do?
Self Responder is a trauma centric first aid course that will teach you the skills needed to save your life and the lives of others after a potentially fatal incident. Traumatic injury is one of the leading causes of death for people under 50 in the US. A significant portion of those deaths are from severe bleeding – a preventable cause of death due to trauma. This class will use simunition pistols and moulage to simulate scenario based training. This is a scenario based course.
This course is meant for participants of all skill and fitness levels. Firearms, live weapons, or blades are not required for this course.
Please thoroughly review the following website and all skills modules prior to coming to class. DEPLOYED MEDICINE SITE
