I've worked to bring Chris up from NYC several times, and each time the class has sold out and had extremely positive reviews, especially the scenario-based training modules. I'm excited to offer this to NES (since I finally paid my instructor dues), I think that this training will resonate well with this community. Let me know if you have any questions, concerns, etc. Please also let me know if you are a Harvard Sportmen's Club member, membership has its perks.

Trauma First Responder
[STRIKE=-]Sunday February 15, 2015 9AM – 6PM[/STRIKE] Sunday, March 15 2015
Harvard Sportsmen’s Club, Harvard, MA
Tuition: $150 with preregistration
Instructor: Chris Van Houten, NREMT-P
Contact: DrRansom via PM on NES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Going beyond the first aid and CPR courses commonly offered to the public, the Trauma First Responder course was developed specifically for those without any medical training to learn the critical skills necessary to save lives before professional EMS providers arrive on scene.
Based on the Tactical Combat Casualty Care course taught to members of the US Military and refined with 20 years of evidence-based medicine, participants will leave this course knowing how to control massive bleeding (including how to correctly apply a tourniquet), how to create and maintain a patient airway, when to transport a patient, what the most critical piece of information a 911 dispatcher needs to know, and also, just as important, when not to intervene.
Taught by an experienced 20+ year NYC paramedic, students will leave knowing what does and doesn’t work in the real world. The course will be a mix of lecture and hands on practical skills culminating in an intense scenario where students will apply everything they’ve learned. This is a rare opportunity for those who want to learn the skills to save their loved ones if they ever find themselves in a time-is-life situation.
The time to train and prepare your self is before the emergency, sign up today!
