[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3687574, member: 35603"] If any of you were even slightly interested in taking a trauma focused medical class, I would definitely jump on this one when they come back next year. There was a lot of info provided, but their program keeps it very easy to absorb and apply. The first half of the first day presents 2 mnemonics for the initial thoughts to assess and prioritize an incident if you come upon one with random call outs throughout the rest of the class to recall them until they are truly second nature. The rest of the class is teaching you the details of addressing a traumatic wound while waiting on emergency services to increase that persons chances of survival. All of the details are constantly circled back to how they fit into the two initial mnemonics so you learn the process flow for walking up on the scene rather than trying to memorize a bunch of "if/then" scenarios. The second day was spent wrapping up the small amount of classroom style material and quickly shifted to hands on scenario training to add in the hands on reinforcement of the process flow learned the day before. The presentation was awesome and it wasnt geared toward their own products. The focus was always on the components of the kit and how to know when to use each of them and how to use them properly and effectively. Improvisation of some of the components was also covered, which was really awesome. It was a very worthwhile way to spend our weekend and even my 14yo son that had to get up at 6:30am on his weekend agreed he was glad he went with me. Meadhall provides an awesome facility as well and I will definitely try to take as many classes as I can there. [/QUOTE]
