In this one-day class, participants learn how to manage more complex cases, including long-term care, closed fracture stabilization, open fracture reduction and repair, wound care, anesthesia, and pain management. Proof of rabies pre-exposure vaccination is required at the start of class.
Topics covered in this workshop include:
Students receive a DVD with videos demonstrating procedures covered during the workshop, graphic handouts for fracture stabilization techniques, and an instrument set.
*In the event that a student cannot attend a scheduled class, arrangements may be made to transfer the registration to a future class session.
** Please remember to bring your proof of vaccination or titer level with you to class. If you fail to provide proof of being vaccinated you will not be able to handle live bats during class (sorry, no exceptions).
