During the January 13 session of our course, students learned about identification and description location of landmarks in anatomical terms. With the well-recieved "macaroni drill", each student taped a piece of macaroni on their partner depicting a potential injury site.
The rest of the class then had to describe the location in medical terminology simulating radio or telephone communication to an incoming medical crew, ambulance or emergency depatment. The rest of the session was learning about lifting and moving patients with specialized equipment and proper body mechanics. Stay tuned for further sessions where we take this out in the field....literally.

Hello Everyone,
I have just reviewed your web site and it looks like everything is moving along and everyone is doing well. Hmm...it even looks like you may be having some fun along the way!
I have run into a couple of students on the street and you all seem enthusiastic about the course and getting your FR certificate. I hope this happens, as we need you here at Valley Rescue.
We are very pleased that you are taking this course with Robin, as I believe that with her training and guidance you will be properly trained and well prepared for service.
Keep up the good work! We look forward to working with some of you soon!
