There are so many ways we need to prepare for our rides: adjust our helmets, check our tire pressure, pack water, a snack, bear spray, tools for any trail side repair or adjustments, but what about being prepared for a medical emergency?
Join us on June 1st at the Hilltop Chalet for a first aid and CPR clinic* led by Sydney Boyd. Sydney is a nationally registered, state licensed paramedic. She is also a cyclist.
This is a basic training aimed at creating a foundation of knowledge of basic first aid targeted to outdoor enthusiasts who want to feel more comfortable recreating in the outdoors.
Topics include:
Basic human anatomy & physiology
Heat exhaustion vs. stroke
Wound care/ bleeding control
Splinting of the joints
CPR & AED (automated external defibrillator) use
No previous education or training necessary. Training is part lecture
part hands on. Training is held at Hilltop Ski area Chalet at 11am-4pm (may be shorter if fewer people). Be sure to sign up here so we know who to expect.
Bring a bag lunch and/or snacks.
*This course does
not offer a certification or CME (continuing medical education) credit.
