DOWN EAST YACHT CLUB

MEDICAL TRAINING PROGRAM

The Officers of the Bridge and the Board of Directors understand the need for all of our

members to be capable of recognizing and dealing with medical emergencies while we

are pursuing our favorite pastime—spending time on the water.

The Down East Yacht Club is offering a three hour Medical Training Program to our

members. This course, taught by a Medical Training Professional, does not result in

any certifications, but does provide the knowledge necessary to deal with the Medical

Emergencies we might encounter.

The training will focus on the following topics:

Recognizing cardiac emergencies and Compression CPR

Recognizing neurological emergencies, basic stroke care, seizures, and injuries

to the head neck and spine

Respiratory emergencies and chocking

Shock, bleeding, heat stroke, and hypothermia, as well as standard precautions

and legal considerations

This course is available to all members of the Down East Yacht Club. The cost per

attendee is $15.00. The first sessions are Friday July 28, 2017 at 1:00 to 4:00 and

6:00 to 9:00 in the Common Room of the Cod Cove Inn, 22 Cross Road, Edgecomb,

ME 04556.

Because this is “hands-on” training class size is limited. Please enroll early to ensure

your place.
