Kerry Davis, formerly of Magpul Dynamics, Is now heading up Sig Sauer Academies Medical Division. We are bringing Kerry in for a 3 day live fire Medical class in February. This is a can’t miss class. The important thing to realize is this training goes way beyond the firearms world. We are more likely to use medical training in out every day lives than using our weapons.

This class should have no problem hitting the minimum required student amount and should fill fast.

Here is the course description and a link to our new course at SIG Sauer Academy. Let me know if y’all have any questions.
Bullets and bandages

This is an intermediate level class. The student needs to know and be able to demonstrate safe gun handling, weapon system familiarity, foundational marksmanship skills, and working from a holster. No prior first aid training is required.
Will you know how to react after gunfire? In critical injury situations, most don’t know what they don’t know until it’s too late. This 3-day course focuses on basic, lifesaving emergency medical skills blended with weapons manipulation in live-fire, high risk scenarios. Students are expected to utilize their equipment and knowledge while under stress to “save” critically injured team members in real-life scenarios. This course is suitable for armed professionals and responsible citizens.

Kerry is a phenomenal teacher. The knowledge and ability this course provides is just as important as the knowledge and ability one has for the proper utilization and implemenation of their firearms and ancillary weapon systems. Do yourself a favor and take this class.

Agreed AML and thanks for the link!

I would love to be able to take this, but too far. One of the gaps in my training! It sounds fantastic!

What happened to the non-shooting AID course you hosted when at Magpul. I will NOT fly guns anywhere anymore. I would love a course like this, but if it is not within driving distance then I do not want a shooting portion. Is this material something that can only be taught with shooting involved? I took my EMT-B simple because I wanted to know more, but civilian EMT is geared around not getting you sued and they spend very little time on trauma. I have been trying to get something a little more oriented around GSW/ trauma treatment, but the only course that you had scheduled in LA was cancelled. Any plans on doing a non-shooting involved class?

Thanks

The class that was scheduled when Kerry was at Magpul was unfortunately canceled due to registration not meeting MP’s minimum student quota.

the shooting portion of day 3 is meant to give the students a higher stress level testing what they learned the first two days. I’m sure Kerry can do a a non shooting class.

You can come and borrow firearms, most of us here can help, like me.

:wink:

A couple perks to taking this class above and beyond the great information given from Kerry.

Doug from ATEi and Joey from DFC are offering a 10 percent discount on any of their services to each student that takes this course!

thanks guys!

Still need a few more to makes this a go. Still waiting for a do or die deadline for registration. will post it when i get it.

I would dearly love to take Kerry’s class and I’m a big fan of the Sig class descriptions in general. I’m in SoCal and hope you can make it out here sometime (even in SF, CA)

The more classes Kerry runs the more interest this class is drawing. it really is must have info. Im sure he will be coming to CALI soon.

Talked to him today and we are real close to the minimum enrollment to make this a go. Hopefully now that the holidays are over we’ll pick up some more in the next few weeks!

I agree - these skills are as important as marksmanship! It would be great to see his classes out here sometime (soon)!

Katgirl, check your PM’s.
