Citizen First Responder
This full day class is designed to teach the student how to effectively recognize, respond, and treat a victim in the event of a medical emergency or traumatic injury. Until professional help arrives you will likely be on your own. Having actionable skills and an understanding of what to do and when to do it can save your life, or that of a loved one. An emphasis is placed on bleeding control and wound management; however, this is not strictly a “how to treat gunshot wounds” class. The time to learn is now, before an incident happens.
Discussion and hands on application will cover a variety of topics including:
· Personal safety while providing care
· Situational awareness
· Combat mindset
· M.A.R.C.H assessments and treatments
· Care under fire concepts
· Prioritizing care
· Self-aid
· Wound ballistics
· Stages of shock
· How blood loss can affect the body
· Head injuries
· Fractures
· Basic anatomy and physiology of life-sustaining systems
· Contents and application of Individual med kit components
· Proper storage and employment of med kit
· Proper use, storage and application of tourniquets, chest seals, NPA and trauma dressings
· Basic and advanced airway management – treating and monitoring for pneumothorax, tension pneumothorax and sucking chest wounds
· Use of bandages, compression bandages, gauze, and hemostatic agents (Celox, combat gauze, etc.)
· Recognition and treatment of various injuries (gunshots, lacerations, burns, airway blockages, head injuries, orthopedic, environmental concerns)
· Moving and positioning victims with various injuries
· Evacuation considerations
· Plus, more

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Chris Goemans
Medical Instructor / Range Safety Officer
Chris became involved in EMS at an early age by volunteering at his local ambulance/rescue squad in College Point, NY as a teenager. After taking initial CPR and First Aid classes, he later enrolled in an EMT class and has been certified since, now over 28 years.
Chris continued to volunteer and work as an EMT in NYC throughout the 1990’s and well into the 2000’s. During this time, he also taught a variety of courses for the American Red Cross, American Heart Association and worked alongside fellow EMS veterans to teach CFR and EMT courses at one of the longest operating and most respected training facilities within NY State, the Regional Training Center for Emergency Medical Technicians. Here, he helped to train and re-certify thousands of Certified First Responders and fellow Emergency Medical Technicians for over 15 years.
In late 2015, Chris decided to take the necessary steps to secure his pistol permit, a friend suggested he check out OnSight Firearms Training and that’s where met Ben, Rachel, and the rest of the team. In addition to participating in Pistol, Shotgun and Carbine courses, Chris frequently assists OFT as an RSO.
Today Chris co-owns a security company which provides solutions to a variety of clientele; everyone from Residential and Small Business owners to School Districts and fortune 500 companies.
