One of the revised, clearer images introduced in the new Stop the Bleed course
The ACS recently launched a revised, more visually focused course to expand the reach of its Stop the Bleed program.
Notable updates include slides with more images and less text, a format that can be easily adapted and updated to be most relevant for the community in which it is being taught. It also includes a greater emphasis on the anatomy of blood flow to enhance civilian understanding of how interventions can stop bleeding.
Ability to use multiple emails for instructor accounts
Opt-ins for sharing contact info for course requests
Instructor notifications included in the dashboard
Ability to designate proxy for course management
Ability to create recurring courses without re-entering course information
An improved course search on the Find a Course link
Instructors need simply to log into the new portal with an existing username and password. Once logged in, instructors can validate their email and reset their password, if desired.
Now in its 9th year, the ACS Stop the Bleed program has prepared 4.8 million individuals to save a life during a bleeding emergency.
