>> SAFETY:  Starting two weeks before class, participants track their symptoms.  For any new unexplained symptom, before coming to class the participant consults a doc, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant to make sure it is not something which could be contagious to others.  Throughout the COVID pandemic, MEDIC had a 100% perfect safety record -- not one person came to us after a public open-enrollment class saying they got sick and maybe they caught something in class.

Skills learned apply to urban disasters (natural and terrorist) as well, as shown in this picture where students are providing care during a disaster scenario.

>> Cost: $295 Earlybird.  That's a $55 savings per person over what another nationally-offered, shorter, less-hands-on class now charges.
