Human Body Systems & First Aid: How do they relate?

Monday, September 28 | 2:15 - 3:30 p.m.
Speaker: Greg Schmidt

Description:
This session is an overview of anatomy and system functions that will benefit guards or managers in rendering first aid, identifying patient’s conditions, and providing better data on incident reports. By understanding what’s happening with the body, providing the correct care just makes more sense.
