OEC SouthBay 2014 Students -
We've got a full class and great instructor crew assembled and are
looking forward to a great class. In preparation for the start of class
next week, I'd like to point out a few items to focus on:
- As you know, our first class is next Tuesday, Aug. 19. We'll start
class at 7PM, but I'd advise you show up a 15 mins or so early to take
care of some paperwork, get to know a few folks, and get settled. Note
also that this week only, class is on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
Tuesday and Thursday thereafter. Location specifics/directions on the blog.
- As you saw in the "Class Materials" section of the blog, be sure you
have read the initial chapters in the book, and in particular, spend
some extra time to read and fully digest the "Guide to Assessment".
Assessment is a foundation of medical treatment, and is critical to have down 100% so that you can determine and direct appropriate treatment.
We'll spend the first classes on this important skill.
- As you also saw in the blog, our class is driven in large part by
scenarios - simulated situations where you'll be applying the skills
you're learning in class. With this approach, you'll get dirty -
spending time on the floor, with moulage, etc. As such, it's best to
wear old clothes that you're comfortable exposing to such situations.
- Finally, we have a set of supplies you'll be receiving Tuesday. Bring
something to carry it all in. Backpack good; shopping bag not.
Looking forward to having you all in class this year. Shoot me any
questions at the email address above,
Bill
