This Basic First Aid/CPR for Mariners program equips participants with the skills to address medical emergencies in challenging maritime environments.
Students are assigned our core maritime curriculum (thorough our Maritime Medicine Online learning platform) before the program begins to help establish a solid base of knowledge to build upon. Throughout the day of in-person learning, students practice CPR and learn to manage risk, assess and stabilize life threatening injuries, and treat common trauma, with additional lectures and guidance. Maritime Medical Guides places emphasis on experience-based learning, giving students opportunities to expand their knowledge and skillsets through hands-on scenarios. This class is US Sailing accredited, meets World Sailing Offshore Special Regulation (OSR 6.05) Medical Training requirements, US Sailing Senior First Aid Requirements, and is also valid for US Coast Guard Merchant Mariner credentials.
