This week we had the opportunity to refresh on altered mental status and how to treat patients who are experiencing it!

Last meeting we had a paramedic practitioner come in to teach us about prehospital medicine. Thank you so much ! We also made over 200 Stop The Bleed Kits for our community!

Last week Post247 got to see the special event vehicles and learn more about what the program does , thank you so much for keeping Austin safe !

Explorers Kian and Lucas recently successfully completed a TECC (Tactical Emergency Casualty Care) course! This 16-hour course included instruction in various topics including hemorrhage control, MARCH assessments, surgical airway control and needle decompression, pediatric patient care, and management of mass-casualty events. A big thank you to the ATCEMS Tactical Team for assisting these Explorers in preparing for this class!

We had an ER doctor come in and talk about his experience going through medical school as well as his path to becoming a doctor. Team work and collaboration is very important to the Post 247 so we had a quick game of jeopardy!
