IMPLEMENTATION OF "STOP THE BLEED" TRAINING IN NYC SCHOOLS

NYU Langone’s Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency
Medicine has operated as an independent academic department at
NYU for over 30 years, treating over 500,000 patients annually. The
Department’s Prevention Education Partnership (PEP) is a program
that has taught thousands of students and teachers in schools over
the past seven years on a variety of health related topics, including
drug abuse. In partnership with PEP, the Department of Emergency
Medicine enlisted the Capstone team to research, develop, and
implement a curriculum for best practices to address school-based
violence, including Stop the Bleed training. The Capstone team
coordinated the introduction of Stop the Bleed training for teachers
in several New York City schools and school-based health centers
