Delaware Valley Ski Patrol
OEC Information
The NSP (National Ski Patrol) is the primary provider of medical educational programs for the patrollers who care for the snowsports public. OEC (Outdoor Emergency Care) technicians are trained to provide emergency care for environmental illnesses and injuries, spinal injuries, and ski/snowboard and other outdoor injuries. All individuals completing this course are given a 3-year certification that notes course completion of all knowledge and skill objectives. Management personnel at nearly all mountain and nordic resorts in the United States recognize the value of this OEC education program and use the completion of the course as a prerequisite for becoming a patroller.
Next OEC class starts August 2012! Please check back for updated information, class schedule, and registration form. For more information or to sign up, contact David Mooney.
Once you have passed the OEC Course and become a National Ski Patrol member, you must satisfy annual requirements. Please read the ANNUAL FIVE FINGER REQUIREMENTS listed on the Announcements page.
