Instructor Team Positions:
​
Our instructor team is made up of very dedicated, skilled, and professional individuals. Most of our instructors are students (or alumni) of the Storrs campus. Our instructors simultaneously serve in two roles as Stop the Bleed Instructors & AHA BLS CPR/AED Instructors.
​
Stop the Bleed (STB) Instructors must meet a certain set of criteria from the ACS Stop the Bleed campaign to become an instructor. They complete hours of instruction on trauma and bleeding control to begin teaching. These individuals teach Stop the Bleed classes to the greater university community. They are rewarded through our stipend program based on the number of classes they teach.
​
American Heart Association (AHA) Basic Life Support (BLS) Instructors are certified by the national body under the UConn Rescue training site. All instructors must complete 8+ hours of in-person education, an online component and a student teaching component of the class. They are rewarded through our stipend program based on the number of classes they teach.
​
We routinely offer an instructor class for BLS & STB Instructors in January/February of each year. You must apply, complete an interview, and be selected for the instructor class (which does have a cost associated with it). Applications typically open in November and are announced through our email list & the UConn student daily digest.
​
We are always looking for new instructors. If you are interested in becoming an instructor please email the Training Coordinator at training@uconnrescue.com to express your interest.
