First Aid, CPR and 12 hours of semi-CLS (LGS runs classes and one of the them is Combat Trauma Treatment, kind of advanced Stop The Bleed, the instructor is a former Navy CLS Instructor and has it set up for civilians stopping short of anything that would require licensure).

You did my calcium score and I only glowed for a few days...

CPR, Some basic first aid (many years ago), and Stop The Bleed. Random online videos.

I figure if I'm willing to carry a handgun, I should certainly be prepared to provide emergency medical aid, since that's far more likely. I'm also a real estate agent, so I'm out and about (not in an office) a lot compared to most people.

Have a Rescue Essentials FLETC kit in the car, carry a small trauma kit (Rescue Essentials Advanced Tactical First Response Kit) with a CAT in my bag/briefcase.

I make a point of doing some sort of "sheepdog" training each month, either shooting, mindset/awareness/tactics, or medical.

CLS when I was in the army. EMT since 1992. Paramedic since 2008. Plus the requisite add on courses (ACLS, TECC, etc.)

Working in Langley Park has honed my skills on shootings, stabbings, and drunk people.

If you get affiliated again, MIEMSS, as a COVID-19 response, has a rapid reentry process for any EMT that expired within the past 10 years and any EMT-P that expired within the past 5.

OLM-Medic · Apr 11, 2020

No option for both paramedic and RN

also probably should have a PA/NP option

Totally agreed, and much appreciation to everyone that is willing to help others.

motorcoachdoug · Jun 26, 2020

need to renew my certification for advanced first aid/Basic life support. Took a class thru the county 's red cross and its time to renew..

cantstop · Jun 26, 2020

Took a CPR class every other year or so in my 20's. Did some sort of class the county fire department held on tying a tourniquet, chopping off a hand, getting hit by a chainsaw backlash, etc. in my 30's. 15 years ago I learned how to use the Automatic CPR device at work.

I've forgotten most of the training now.

OEC (Outdoor Emergency Care). An emergency medical certification specific to the National Ski Patrol. It's generally accepted as the same level of training/ability as an EMT-B (Just don't call me EMT certified), with a focus on the outdoors (ie; extrication, long(er) term stabilization and patient transport).

CPR certified annually since 2011.

I think basic first aid and CPR should be universally taught. It's not if, but rather when will it come in handy and safe a life of a loved one or fellow civilian.

Protocol for CPR in many states has changed as well. You have two rescuer, High Performance CPR, single rescuer, and civilian.

The biggest change is that you go straight to compression, 30 compression and then 2 breaths. Reason being that the body is presumed to still have decent oxygen levels, so getting the blood moving is first priority. In many states they are moving to compression only for civilians.
