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
