Stop the Bleed

Stop the Bleed® training

Stop the bleed is a national campaign launched by the White House in 2015 with two main goals:

  • Inform and empower the public to become trained on basic trauma care in order to stop or slow bleeding during emergencies.
  • Increase bystander access to bleeding control kits.

We offer this training to students as one of the services.

Stop the Bleed®
This program is the result of a collaborative effort led by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS COT) to bring knowledge of bleeding control to the public. Training includes the use of direct pressure, packing the wound with bleeding control gauze, and use of a tourniquet. This training is a two-part program, with the participant taking the online course at:
