Bend, Oregon – Bend Tech Academy (BTA) students showcased their preparedness and emergency response skills during a recent simulated disaster drill held before the holiday break. The drill was part of the Medical/Health Academy program, led by instructor Dr. Marty Codino.

Through this program, students are trained in essential life-saving techniques, including CPR, First Aid, and basic life support skills. The simulation offered a hands-on opportunity for students to practice these critical skills in a controlled environment, reinforcing their training for real-world situations.
