Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage is the most preventable cause of death following trauma. Instruction is based on best-practice techniques identified through previous studies and includes direct pressure, wound packing and appropriate tourniquet use. The gap identified in our community was the historical focus on educating faculty within the school system and the limited education and training provided to the student body themselves. In the event of a mass casualty situation, it is imperative for the students themselves to understand the correct actions required to perform life-saving hemorrhage control.
