Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign and a call to action. Stop the Bleed is intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives. Stop the Bleed partners with local instructors, to offer a no cost bleeding control class.
I've seen some people on social media post that they have taken the hour and a half class and they seemed pretty happy with it. I figured for the price of free, I'd check one out. I've been checking for the last couple months and there hasn't been any locally, until now. The UC Davis Department of Surgery is hosting classes in Sacramento. They have 6 classes scheduled, one a month, starting next month. Each class is limited to 20 participants and starts at 7:00 PM. The instructor listed for the class is David Shatz M.D.. A quick internet search shows that he is a trauma surgeon. His bio on UC Davis says he is a nationally recognized expert in disaster response, having worked and taught within the federal search and rescue system for over fifteen years.
The dates are,
05/01/18
06/27/18
07/12/18
08/15/18
09/13/18
10/04/18
The classes are being held at,
UC Davis Medical Center Facilities Services and Support Building (FSSB)
4800 2nd Avenue
Sacramento CA 95662

And this is the Stop the Bleed page that you can also use to look for other classes, or to sign up if the direct link I posted doesn't work.
