"Stop the Bleed" Workshop

Army Healthcare Recruiter, Brandon Sano, will provide a “Stop the Bleed” workshop for pre-health students at WWU. Stop the Bleed is a program started by the American College of Surgeons to create a continuous effort to improve the care of injured patients in our society. When minutes count, someone who is severely bleeding can bleed to death in as little as 5 minutes. “Stop the Bleed” teaches and reinforces critical skills to first responders to treat massive hemorrhage. The workshop will cover applying direct pressure, wound packing, and tourniquet application with physical demonstrations and practical exercises. Participants will gain important skills to have in the event of an emergency.  

Registration is required on Handshake: Stop the Bleed Workshop - Waitlist available!
