Fieldcraft Survival Emergency Trauma Treatment
In critical moments, the ability to provide immediate and effective trauma care can mean the difference between life and death. Our Emergency Trauma Treatment Course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to respond confidently in emergencies. As step one in the Fieldcraft Medical Series, our instructors will teach you to master the fundamentals of treating trauma and managing the chaos that often accompanies an emergency. Learning best practices like sizing up a scene, conducting a patient assessment, and communicating with first responders will keep you on track for accomplishing the best outcomes for those injured. You will not only learn to identify an array of medical devices in your trauma kits but also how, when, and why to utilize them through hands-on practice. Learn a new skill, build confidence, and then train your family and friends because you are your own first responder.
