You are on your own… plan for it.
This one-day course provides students with the medical knowledge, skills, and resources to be better prepared for various unfortunate events in their community. Over the years it has become more and more apparent that even brief, let alone long-term breakdowns in government ran infrastructure/systems can leave communities and individual families to fend for themselves. Some of those affected systems may include EMS or entire hospitals in some regions. Which means basic medical care is the responsibility of each neighborhood or household. The “Med Prep” course prepares students for such scenarios.
