SRTC CONED NIGHT: Physics of Splinting

🗓️ Date: 30 Sept 2025
⏰ Time: 8:00 PM ET
💻 Platform: Zoom

Cost: Free

 

Speaker: Jason Tartalone  NRP, FAWM, FEWM, WP-C

Ever wonder why your splint holds sometimes… and other times it’s about as useful as duct tape on a waterfall? This class takes you beyond “just wrap it tight” and dives into the science behind immobilization. We’ll explore how Newton’s laws of motion, force distribution, and leverage play a role in making your splints stable, safe, and actually effective in the field.

Don’t worry—this isn’t a stuffy physics lecture. We’ll keep the math light, the jokes flowing, and the hands-on practice real. You’ll leave with practical techniques, a better understanding of why certain splints succeed (or fail), and maybe even a new respect for Sir Isaac Newton.

Whether you’re an EMS provider, SAR responder, or just someone who has ever tried to wrangle a broken limb into place without making it worse, this course will give you the confidence to splint smarter, not harder.

 

REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE AT 5:00PM EST ON THE DAY OF THE CLASSES. THE CLASS REMINDER AND LOGON INFORMATION WILL BE SENT NO SOONER THAN 12:00 EST ON THE DAY OF THE COURSES.
