Stop the Bleed Free Online Training
Category : News/Events
The Georgia Trauma System is hosting a 2022 Back to School STOP THE BLEED® Training Blitz. The STOP THE BLEED® course is designed for those with little or no medical training who may be called upon to provide initial trauma care and bleeding control before the arrival of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). This 1-hour program is FREE and instructed by highly trained and experienced STOP THE BLEED® educators. Since 2017, over 100,000 Georgians have been trained to Stop the Bleed, and Georgia Trauma Commission Bleeding Control Kits have been distributed to public schools across the state.
These live virtual sessions are designed with K-12 and higher education partners in mind. School system partners, homeschooling parents, college students, and community members are also invited to attend. High school students are also welcomed to participate along with their Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) and Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) educators.
Session Dates:
July 25th – August 17th, Mondays & Wednesdays only
Choose from ONE of THREE 1-hr sessions each day:
10:00am, 1:00pm, 4:00pm
Registration is now open at: www.stopthebleedgeorgia.org.
Prospective instructors (i.e., Athletic Trainers, Health Science Instructors, School Nurses, School Resource Officers, etc.) interested in teaching STOP THE BLEED® courses are invited to attend a brief (additional 45 minutes hour) instructor orientation provided after each 10:00 am session.
Hands-on practice and skills training is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and necessary to obtain a “full” STOP THE BLEED® certification; there is NO REQUIREMENT for scheduling in-person checkoffs for those participating in the Virtual Blitz. Participants are encouraged to work with local STOP THE BLEED® instructors to plan follow-up hands-on training sessions. Contact information for volunteer instructors and regional STOP THE BLEED® Champions can be found at www.stopthebleedgeorgia.org. These webinars are not intended to replace any planned in-person STOP THE BLEED® courses. You can also request in-person training sessions here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/STBcourserequestform.
