Part of the certification of OEC involves passing basic life support course which the American Heart Association provides. I will refer to this in ,my paper when I explain the certifications involved in becoming an OEC technician.

Auerbach, Paul. Medicine for the Outdoors. New York: The Lyons Press, 1999.

This is an outdoor medical procedure manual that gives detailed information on skills needed to be an OEC technician.

This article provides another example of rescue techniques that OEC technicians must be trained in – Avalanche rescue. This will add to my argument that in many ways, OEC technicians are more qualified to save lives than office doctors.

Outdoor Emergency Care. 4^th Edition. Sudbury: Jones and Bartlett Publishers, 2003.

This is a reference/text book for outdoor emergency care. Being an official reference book, this source should be very reliable. It contains information about what it take to be an outdoor emergency care technician. Some of the information I plan to pull from this resource includes the number of hours of training involved, procedures that rescuers are allowed to take and examples of life saving stories.

"Rescuers Cut Trail to Reach Missing Hiker." Winston Salem Journal September 17, 2008.

This is an article I found using an online magazine. I contains a real life example of the skills needed to save someone in the wilderness. This will help in my argument that OEC technicians are very underrated when it comes to saving lives.
