Is there anyone within the Missouri contingent of shooters or instructors who is qualified to provide medical training (CPR, basic and advanced First Aid, etc)? As instructors, we need to be able to identify and treat certain injuries/conditions and as such, I'm looking to refresh my CPR certification among others.
If you are either a 'local' qualified expert and available to instruct, or someone who'd like to be part of a class such as this, sound off in this thread.
The only one I know of is your wife...
Generally, the ARC (Red Cross) provides lots of classes for CPR recert.

I have checked them out for their cpr/first aid classes, among others. Schedule conflicts abound, however, for me.
I figured there may very well be people in a similar position (wanting to attend, but can't for various reasons), and
thought perhaps a group of us could get together on a mutually agreeable weekend.
If we can do it, great. If there's not enough interest or an instructor, we'll have to make other arrangements.
I'm a member of a CERT team (still in the process of finalizing our certification). Their 'Disaster Medical Operations' teaches basic 1st aid... open airway, control bleeding, treat for shock. CERT training is intended to keep 'em alive until 'real' help arrives.
If anyone is interested, CERT training manuals can be downloaded from:

I was CPR certified years ago, I'd be interested in renewing that certification if the opportunity presented itself.

i am CPR and advanced first aid certified. have to be where i work. if you like i can contact the guy that does ours and see if he would do a group of instructors if you like.
I am definitely interested in receiving first aid/CPR instruction if we are getting together a class, keep me posted. Thanks
