Skills Labs

Skills Labs are short, two to four-hour classes that focus on learning specific skills. These skills may vary from hemorrhage control techniques to fundamentals of wound management to various patient assessments. Each class will not only provide training on how to perform a skill and hands-on skill practice, students may also participate in drills and even pressure tests. These drills and tests will provide an honest self-evaluation of a student’s skill level. Drills and tests are designed to teach, not fail a student.
