Traumatic Injury & Field Intervention Course 10/16/16 at 1pm
In a day and age where personal safety & security is neither promised nor guaranteed, many individuals feel the need to be better informed and more self-sufficient. Take into consideration the old saying “when seconds count, help is only minutes away”. The same ethos that we use when we think about home or self defense also applies our response to traumatic injuries. Whether these injuries are sustained by loved ones, ourselves, or complete strangers…wouldn’t you rather have some cards up your sleeve if things go sideways? I know I want more knowledge than I have and I want it delivered by a professional with decades of experience treating these kinds of injuries. That brings us to this course. This is a non-certification course designed to be taught to lay people, i.e. you and me. The course will be held here at the shop on Sunday October 16th at 1pm.
The Traumatic Injury & Field Interventions Course is designed to get an individual acquainted with the equipment contained in today’s individual trauma kits, also commonly referred to as a “blow out kit”. We will be focusing on injury specific treatment modalities driven by various types of emergency situations including trauma from gun shot wounds, edged weapon wounds and concussion injuries resulting from proximity to explosion.
Although many kits are commercially available, this course will be geared toward North American Rescue’s Tactical Operator Response Kit (TORK). You will be required to bring an individual emergency kit to the course. If you do not have a TORK kit, one will be provided for you at wholesale cost when you attend.
Topics covered will include but not be limited to: basic anatomy & physiology, mechanism of injury, wound care and other various medical interventions. It is our goal that you are able to take away the knowledge, skills & ability to help yourself or others during an emergency situation. The course is approximately 3hrs and will include both lecture and hands on learning (practice stations).
*** WARNING***
Parts of this course may cover extremely graphic situations.
Please consult with the shop if you have any questions regarding the class or its content prior to enrollment. The cost of the course will be $175 per person and the advanced TORK kits will be sold to students who attend at wholesale cost. Please contact the shop at 561-756-8415 or [email protected] for reservations!
