Huge thank yous to all the folks that were involved in the coordination of this course. Attending the Civ-Med I course was well worth the price of admission.
If you are looking for some straightforward, real world applicable trauma training you have to get in this class. The program was much, much more than just a power point presentation of "do this and don't do that." Throughout the day so many aspects of traumatic injuries are discussed that I can legitimately say this isn't a program someone attends to just get another certificate to hang on the wall. You'll find out right off the bat that the folks involved in the content and development of the class are the kind of people that eat, breathe and think soberly and spiritually about what they are sharing there. With that in mind when you do spend a day learning more than you'll likely be able to remember, show up ready as a team player and have an open mind about what you are going to take away with you. I was pretty amazed at how the discussions, classroom interaction and practical exercises changed my thinking of what I wanted from the course. Oh and wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty! Sounds like a pretty good time for any old Saturday to me.
Lastly I want to share that any time this class is in my area I will attend it again. The good folks that are involved in here are great and the need for responsible medical training for the world as it is now means no excuses! I have no doubt the experience will be one that you'll tell your friends about.
