Bill Person will guide an OEC class at a Truckee Area ski resort from Aug 29 to Nov 14, 2009.
Outdoor Emergency Care is the National Ski Patrols award-winning training program for patrollers and others in the recreation community who deal with emergency situations. This nationally recognized program is designed to help you manage the toughest emergencies, in all seasons. Developed in the late 1980s for the 26,000 members of the National Ski Patrol, Outdoor Emergency Care is a training program that is tailored to the nonurban rescuer. Today, OEC is considered the standard of training for emergency care in the outdoor environment and is recognized by resorts and recreational facilities in all 50 states.
Our course is designed to serve ski patrols in the Lake Tahoe/Truckee area. Our patrollers work within an hour of definitive care by ground transport and are serviced by helicopter transport for patients with urgent problems. Most high backcountry sites in the Basin have cell coverage and helicopter transport as well. We do not spend class time on any issues which are not important in this winter environment. Candidates expecting to work at remote ski areas or in a summer environment must put extra effort into the relevant textbook and workbook information.
The Weekender OEC class is especially intended for students from the Tahoe area and students from throughout ESR & MLR who: have schedule conflicts with with other OEC classes or would rather come to Tahoe 7 times than do 25 peak hour comutes in the Bay Area. The class dates are:
