experience at mass demonstrations and direct actions. Includes chemical

more, with numerous hands-on practicals. Also the complete

fast-paced and energetic training is where medics make mistakes, instead

further practice and hone their skills; hands-on practicals where
instructors can offer one-on-one evaluation.

"The impact of the street medics was difficult to measure, although their
role in providing first-aid care, especially to tear gas victims, was
clearly evident and valuable."--Public Health Reports 89:365
[Being a medic] is one of the most beautiful tasks there is and one of
the most important..--Che Guevera
