Project Title: 'Don't just do something, stand there' Naturalistic decision making development during and post wilderness first aid certification
Supervisors:
Dr Ken McCulloch and Dr
Hamish Ross
Research
topic:
Many
outdoor leaders are required to take a wilderness/remote
medicine course prior to their first group expedition.
These courses certify individuals for 3 years and
many do not revisit the knowledge acquired until
it is time for recertification. What happens psychologically
to a leader who is faced with their first traumatic
event during their initial certification period?
This research study intends to analyse these personal experiences of traumatic
events to determine how we can provide better training during certification
and/or post certification (In-Service Training).
Teaching experience:
I have
been an Instructor for the American Red Cross since
1997 for Lifeguarding, Swimming Lesson Instruction,
CPR, First Aid, AED, and Oxygen Administration.
In 2003 I became an Instructor Trainer for all
of the above courses. I have now converted most
of these Instructor certifications to the British
Red Cross Equivalent and currently volunteer teaching
these courses for the Edinburgh British Red Cross.
I
have also been teaching on the Education 2A course for
BEd programme for the 2008 term.
