Senior Outdoor Emergency Care

2025-2026

If you're interested in improving your OEC decision making, leadership and problem-solving skills I recommend you join us for Senior OEC this fall. The scenarios you'll experience in the program will hone your first aid skills and challenge you with difficult extractions, multiple patients/injuries, communication difficulties and equipment failure. 

If you plan on participating in this year's program, please email me sroec@emari.org by September 27th.

The schedule for this year is as follows:

• Skills Sign off - October 4th and 5th @ Nashoba (October 5th is only necessary if skills sign off is not completed on the 4th.)

• Clinic #1 - Saturday, November 15th @ Blue Hills 9am-3:30pm.

• Clinic #2 - Sunday, November 22th @ Yawgoo 9am-3:30pm.

• Clinic #3- Sunday, November 30th @ Nashoba 9am-3:30pm.

• Clinic #4 - Saturday, December 6th @ Blue Hills 9am-3:30pm.

• Clinic #5- Sunday, December 13th @ Wachusett 9am-3:30pm.

• Pre Test - Saturday, December 27th @ Wachusett 9am-3:30pm.

• Final Evaluation - Saturday, January 3rd @ Nashoba 8am-Completion

If you are interested in participating you need to do the following:

• Brush up on your OEC skills prior to the start of the program. Skills signoff day is not the day to be knocking the rust off. I encourage you to reach out to a TE, we're happy to work with you and ensure you are ready to go on day one. I've attached the TE contact list and the skills you'll need to demonstrate proficiency in for reference.

• Obtain your Patrol Director's approval to participate. Your PD will vouch for your OEC skills.

• Check your calendar and ensure you can attend the clinics. Missing clinics will decrease your chances of successfully completing the program.

A Zoom call with be scheduled for folks who are interested 2-3 weeks prior to the skills clinic. We'll discuss expectations, scheduling, requirements and answer your questions.
