Alcor EventsTRAINING SESSIONS AND MEMBER GATHERINGS: General Information on Training Sessions Alcor training sessions are given throughout the year in a variety of locations for the purpose of training individuals to perform cryopreservation stabilization and transport procedures. Those who do not wish to participate are welcome to observe or simply stop by to meet Alcor representatives. Training sessions are attended by one or more Alcor personnel and offer an introduction to biohazard and safety protocols, advanced airway management, cardiopulmonary support and blood washout procedures, often using mannequins for hands-on experience. Training also provides introductory training in negotiating with medical personnel, families and medical examiners or coroners. Local medical professionals and members of Alcor or other cryonics organizations are eligible to attend. There is no charge for attendance, but each person is responsible for their own travel and hotel expenses. Participation in the training is required to become a member of the Regional Transport Team in your area. Members of the Regional Teams may be contacted if an Alcor member needs help and will be compensated for participation in a cryopreservation case. Team members who become Alcor members also receive a 75% discount on membership dues (excludes Life Membership).
