We all think it will never happen to us, but accidents can happen any time, without warning, to any of us.  This three-hour course will focus on trauma treatment.  This course is filled with practical information and will incorporate a presentation, as well as hands-on skills, to teach you what steps to take when you are the first person on the scene, and how to potentially save a life.  You’ll learn how to apply a tourniquet, pressure bandages, and other items that can be used to control bleeding.  The course is designed to be diverse for people without any medical/trauma treatment knowledge, but would also serve as a great refresher/update for those previously trained.
