While back ol' Yellerhouse says to me, "We need to do something to get our Shoot Bosses as much medical training as we can. These people are working more shoots in weirder conditions than anybody really expected. Seriously, regardless of the unthinkable, we need to know more about how to treat frostbite and heatstroke." So ol' SPQR starts to thinking,
"Shouldn't we do it for as many instructors as possible?"
Well, here you go. Following the December 10th One Day Appleseed event at Marion County Fish and Game the Indiana Appleseed Project will be hosting a medical training workshop specifically designed for our personnel on December 11th. All are welcome. The agenda will include:
December 11th, 2011 Marion County Fish and Game
Medical Training Workshop
CPR with certification card
Basic first aid with Certification card
Basic Trauma with Course Completion Certificate
Violent/Penetrating Trauma
The course will be taught by Matthew Heithoff of Lifesavers LLC., an all around good guy and Applecore member also known as redneckmedic. The cost is $20 per student and that includes certification costs.
As someone who has taken the trauma class he teaches to the general public, I consider this course to be a steal at twice the price. So, come one come all and make your line a safer place to be! (or just bask in the beneficence of SPQR, you decide)
This is great I will try to make it.
Thanks
is there a cap on numbers attending?
Pre-reg list somewhere???

Shoot. Just last week I scheduled my handbell choir to play at church that day. :( Someone take notes for me, k? I haven't had any first aid since Girl Scouts and could certainly use some knowledge.
I'll be working that weekend and unable to attend. :( Sounds like a great class.
I maintain training and certification as a first responder but I still hate to miss an opportunity to treat sucking chest wounds with you all.
Thanks to RNM for offering us such affordable training, and to SPQR for offering to be the CPR dummy. ;D
I won't be able to attend due to work. :(
I hope we will be able to offer it again in a few months.

I'm In. where do we sign up?!
I think this is signing up. I told jake somebody else needed to organize it. The cap is however many people the clubhouse at MCFG will hold, I reckon 20 or 24. As far as pre-regging goes.... you guys realize i am a book guy not a computer guy, right?
I'm in, will try to scare up additional Michigan instructors.
Much appreciation for a warm corner to sleep in for Saturday night. I'll bring my cot and sleeping bag.
I posted my intention to attend on the IL forum, but want to throw my hat in here as well.
Thanks for the opportunity.
