N479 Professional Activity Evaluation Form

Your Name: Tatiana Facer Dates of Activities: September 30th, 2017 & November 28th, 2017

Faculty name: Beverly Bias

Describe the community service/professional activity/s you attended or participated with

(be specific about the purpose and your role):

The first professional activity that I participated in was an Emergency Civilian Casualty

Care Training course taught by the Medical Reserve Corps. In a four-hour class, we learned

about the use of tourniquets and how to pack emergency kits for home use.

The second professional activity that I participated in was a Stop the Bleed class which

was coupled with a Rapid Trauma Assessment and Triage training. This class was very hands on

with tourniquet/wound packing/lifting exercises. The course also included trauma scenarios

where we were able to practice rapid assessments.

Where was this held and what was was program/activity length?

The Emergency Civilian Casualty Care Training course was held at the Red Cross and

was four hours long. The Stop the Bleed class was held at the University of Arizona College of

Medicine and was four hours long.

Discuss the value of this experience to you (be specific).

The Emergency training class was valuable for me because it helped me to understand

what the role of public health is during emergencies such as disasters and violent events. It also

enhanced my knowledge regarding the Medical Reserve Corps. The Stop the Bleed class was

extremely helpful for me, because it was a hands-on experience, and it allowed me to learn

aspects of emergency care that I have not yet learned about in nursing school.
Would you recommend this specific communnity/professional experience in the future; why

or why not? (Describe)

I would recommend both professional activities in the future. The Emergency training,

although not hands-on, is informative and useful for the topic of emergency preparedness at

home. It also offers the opportunity to become connected with the Medical Reserve Corps and

their other educational seminars. The Stop the Bleed class was immensely helpful for me in

particular, because I have an interest in emergency nursing. It is a great resource for anyone in

the community, and the more people who take it, the better chance people have at surviving

emergency situations.
