Abstract

This project evaluates the training in bleeding control and its necessity within the community. With the rise in violence towards healthcare workers and gun violence in the United States, blood loss remains the leading preventable cause of death in violent situations. The "Stop the Bleed" course aims to educate the public on bleeding control techniques, equipping them to save lives. This project involved surveying residents at CVPH Family Medicine regarding their confidence in bleeding control methods before and after undergoing "Stop the Bleed" training. The objective was to enhance their proficiency and comfort with these techniques, allowing them to then bring these skills to the greater community.
