About: Instructor Jeff Imel
Rural Emergency Medical Experience
Jeff practices pre-hospital
emergency medicine as a part-time volunteer Emergency Medical Technician,
operating in the rural areas of West Virginia. West Virginia mountains and
waterways attract a great deal of adventure tourism, and Jeff has the
opportunity to practice what he teaches in class most very week. He has
performed real-world CPR, utilized the Heimlich maneuver on a few occasions,
treated numerous bone fractures, burns, bites, stings, bleeding, infections
(local and systemic), heat and cardiac illnesses, allergic reactions and airway
obstructions -- all of the topics that he teaches in his classes. Working
as an EMT greatly enhances Jeff's instructorship, and enables him to bring
real-world experience into the classroom.
