Dear Sebastain, today I caught the very end of your radio interview which I heard on Detroit Public Radio, you were discussing the importance of first aid education for journalists and RISC training. As a photojournalist looking to shoot humanitarian crisis, (not necessarily front lines) I was considering getting a EMT/paramedic license, do you think this would be beneficial ?  Do you know of any other places where the workshops for RISC training are available for journalists who are just beginning and not necessarily already working on the front lines ? This is really a priority of mine and I am trying to find the best place to find the appropriate training. I really enjoyed hearing you talk today/your interview today as it is something I have been thinking about lately. Thank you for your time

Hi Jessica - 

Sorry to not get back to you sooner...I think EMT training would be great for, frankly, anyone. You really dont need frontline training unless thats the sort of work that you do, but I urge you to get some kind of training. A little goes a long way. Good luck with it - 

Sebastian
