In 2017, Georgia launched the nationwide STOP THE BLEED® campaign, which puts knowledge gained by first responders and our military into the hands of the public to help save lives by stopping uncontrolled bleeding in emergency situations.

If bleeding is severe, it can kill within minutes, potentially before trained responders can arrive. Research has shown that bystanders, with little or no medical training, can become heroic lifesavers. Similar to the use of CPR or automatic defibrillators (AED), improving public awareness about how to stop severe bleeding can be the difference between life and death for an injured person.

To date, over 100,000 Georgians have completed STOP THE BLEED® training. Our goal is to build resilience by educating and empowering all citizens to be aware of the simple steps that can be taken to stop or slow life-threatening bleeding.

EMS Region 5: Regional Trauma Educational Needs Assessment 2024

_________________________________________________________________

Trauma care knowledge and skills must be continuously updated, refined, and expanded through targeted trauma education. The Region 5 RTAC works in collaboration with the Georgia OEMS&T, Region 5 EMS Education and Training Committee, and trauma system stakeholders to assess the region’s educational needs and address any identified gaps to drive regional trauma system improvement. 

Reports generated from this survey will not include the names of respondents or their organizational affiliations. Instead, the information obtained will be presented as a regional overview. While this survey is specifically designed as a tool to guide our regional trauma system, we welcome any feedback for medical, cardiac, or special patient populations as well. Your valuable input will guide us in achieving improved access to high-quality trauma-related education.

Thank you for your participation!

Region 5 EMS Pediatric Trauma Symposium

Central Georgia – Region 5 EMS Pediatric Trauma Symposium

Central Georgia EMS Region Five recognizes the remarkable contributions of Georgia’s EMS Providers and our Trauma System Partners in saving children’s lives. The Regional Pediatric Symposium is the result of the collaborative efforts of the EMS Region 5 Regional Trauma Advisory Committee (RTAC), Central Georgia EMS for Children, the Region 5 Advisory Council Education Committee, and the Regional EMS Directors Association.

While the 2024 Pediatric Trauma Symposium is designed primarily with the educational needs of prehospital practitioners in mind, others providing emergent care to children are always welcome to attend. We aim to improve the lives of children by sharing tools and information specific to preventing pediatric injury and providing optimal trauma care.
