Training

Stop the Bleed

Participants in the course will learn how to recognize life-threatening bleeding and act quickly and effectively to control it with three quick techniques. The Stop the Bleed training course will empower you to make a life-or-death difference when a bleeding emergency happens. 

The instructors will teach you in person using training materials specially developed to teach bleeding control techniques. They will instruct you, and also be available to check your movements as you practice three different bleeding control actions: 

• Use your hands to apply direct pressure to a wound. 
• Pack a wound to control bleeding. 
• Apply a tourniquet. 

These three techniques will empower you to assist in an emergency. Instructors will work with you until you demonstrate the correct skills to stop the bleed and save a life. 

Target Audience 

The Stop the Bleed course is for anyone who is interested in learning this lifesaving skill for bleeding control.  

* Priority registration will be given to individuals attending the CDRN/MEMC Joint Meeting immediately following the training.
