Outdoor Emergency Care® is the National Ski Patrol’s 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.

Outdoor Emergency Care on Flipboard

A while back we created a custom magazine on Flipboard on Outdoor Emergency Care. It's been quite successful with now nearly 500 followers.  

 For those unfamiliar with Flipboard , it's (primarily) tablet app which enables viewers to browse subjects of interest as "magazines".  Some of these are curated by the Flipboard staff, others by individuals on topics of their own interest.  We did the latter for OEC.  

 Send me any feedback you have.  My thinking is to get some initial commentary on this, and then develop a contributor network to provide crowd-sourced content of interest.
