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.
The OEC class (NSP Course #17099) is now forming! The first class is on Monday, August 31, 2009 at 7:00 PM at the ESC School, 1422 Route 179, West Amewll, NJ 08350. Please click here for important class information: OEC 2009 Class Flyer.
For more information or to enroll in this course, please email David Mooney! Come on out and enjoy the fun!
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.
