Mini Hack-a-thon

This year, we are excited to introduce an ENGAGING NEW EVENT into our program - DNPT Shark Tank!! On Saturday at 1:00-3:30 pm- Get ready to collaborate, create, and compete in our dynamic Hackathon experience. Participants will work in teams to tackle a real-world global health challenge, starting with a patient case that represents a larger systemic issue. From there, you’ll design an innovative solution that not only improves individual patient outcomes but also creates impact at the community level.

Teams will present their ideas through a high-energy, Shark Tank–style pitch to a panel of judges, who will evaluate each solution using a structured rubric focused on creativity, feasibility, and impact. This is your chance to think boldly, solve meaningfully, and bring your ideas to life.

Get Certified - Stop The Bleed

As certified instructors, you will be getting trained to recognize life-threatening bleeding injuries and to intervene effectively to STOP THE BLEED® & save a life! Qualified candidates will also be assisted to certify as a STOP THE BLEED® Instructor. You will be equipped to potentially help out at future STOP THE BLEED® Training Sessions in the US and at ANPA Medical Missions.

Certification consists of completing the very short online course and hands-on (in-person) training.


You MUST watch a short video online and answer a few quiz questions (7) prior to the hands-on training on June 6th. Please fill out the sign-up form for a head count to help us plan for you properly!
