- 3rd Triangle Skills Lab: Addresses SAMPLE History, physical exam, & vital signs and SOAP documentation in preparation for full simulations.
- Focused Spine Assessment Lab: How to assess and rule out possible spine injuries in a wilderness context.
- Wound Cleaning Lab: Pig’s feet are used for training realistic wound cleaning.
- Basic Extremity Splinting Lab: Padded aluminum splints are used to improvise effective extremity splints using the buddy & cast splinting concepts. This requires a cut T-shirt roll and a pair of heavy hiking socks; the socks will not be cut.
