SPRING OUTDOOR EMERGENCY CARE COURSE
Posted on 1/26/2012 by J. Murphy
We will begin a hybrid OEC course on March 7th for those aspiring to enter the 2012-13 season as Patrol Candidates. This is the NSP certified course and will take 18 weeks to complete, running through June. The class meets each Wednesday night via conference call and then meets in person every other Saturday at Bear Mountain for skills training. This remote course is perfect for busy professionals or those who don’t live close to a location offering the traditional classroom setting. Students must be responsible for completing the required reading from the text each week and have online capabilities during the class to make this hybrid course effective. Cost is $165 inclusive of text and materials. If you are interested in attending this class, contact George Tinoco at george@bearmountainpatrol.com.
There will also be a CPR for Healthcare Professionals course offered at the start of the OEC course. It will take place on Sunday, March 4th from 8am – 4pm. Location will likely be down the hill and is still TBD. This CPR course is certified by the American Heart Association and is a requirement for each Patroller. Cost of CPR course w/ certification card $65.
NEXT OEC CHALLENGE
Posted on 1/26/2012 by J. Murphy
Are you an EMT, Paramedic, Doctor or Nurse who is interested in joining our Patrol? Bear Mountain Patrol will start an OEC Challenge class beginning on March 17th. Ron Migdal will lead a team of OEC Instructors who will prep candidates for both their written and practical tests. Our Patrol recognizes the OEC standard of care for our services on the mountain. We will illustrate the changes from your current practices and protocols and then have you demonstrate your medical knowledge. Successful completion replaces attending the 18-week OEC course. This is only available for those currently holding certification of EMT or higher. If you are interested in challenging this course, contact Ron at TheTower@pacbell.net.
