N479 Professional Activity Evaluation Form

Your Name: Kimberly Murphy Date of Activity: 9/30/17 Faculty name: Patty Goldsmith

Describe the community service/professional activity/s you attended or participated with (be

specific about the purpose and your role):

I attended an emergency civilian mass casualty training. The Medical Reserves Corp

presented over various topics including; active shooters, blood control, and emergent disaster

situations. With recent current events in mind, a large chunk of the course covered active

shooters. They discussed how to handle a situation of that type, when the right time is to take

action, hide, or escape. We engaged in discussion and answered practice questions. The educator

had brought tourniquets and other disaster preparedness equipment with them. We had the

opportunity to practice correct tourniquet placement on one another, as well as become familiar

with the other supplies.

Where was this held and what was was program/activity length?

The program was held at the Red Cross building off of Broadway Blvd., and it was four hours

long.

Discuss the value of this experience to you (be specific).

This experience was valuable to me because it gave me researched information on how to

handle emergent situations. I now have more tools in my tool belt. I can draw from the

information presented to me in times of disaster or emergency, as opposed to solely trusting my

gut.
Would you recommend this specific communnity/professional experience in the future; why or
why not? (Describe)

I would recommend it. While I didnt agree with some of the bias comments made, I do

feel as though the more information you have, the better prepared you will be in the case an

event happens near you, your family, or friends. I dont think there is such a thing as being too

prepared.

Your Name: Kimberly Murphy Date of Activity: 11/28/17 Faculty name: Bev Bias

Describe the community service/professional activity/s you attended or participated with (be

specific about the purpose and your role):

I attended a basic bleeding control course. The Integrated Community Solutions to Active

Violence Events (ICSAVE) presented the information. This organization is supported by the

American College of Surgeons, as well as The Committee on Trauma. Their aim is to educate the

public on basic life saving bleeding control techniques. We learned about triage, how to assess a

patient in emergent circumstances (i.e. what life threats to look for), and various methods of

bleeding control. After the presentation, time was given to practice different placement of

tourniquets, both oneself and others, pressure bandages, and wound packing techniques.

Where was this held and what was was program/activity length?

The program was held at the College of Medicine, and it was four hours long.

Discuss the value of this experience to you (be specific).

This experience was of particular value because of my interest in trauma, and the desire

to work in areas that may not have all the needed medical supplies. Fieldwork is an area I feel

passionate about, and Im glad I received reinforcement in my knowledge of emergent

scene/patient assessment, as well as bleeding control methods.

Would you recommend this specific communnity/professional experience in the future; why or
why not? (Describe)

I would recommend it. It was mentioned often throughout their presentation that this

information is given to us so that we can go out and educate others. Correct, timely placement of
a tourniquet or applied pressure to an actively bleeding wound, could be the difference between

life and death. Emergent situations can happen anywhere at anytime, and I feel as though

everyone who is capable of helping should be well prepared to do so. I enjoyed that the

instructors continually quizzed us, and ran through practice scenarios the entire time. Great class!
