Every skill moves through the same three pillars that run across the whole Force for Health® Academy:
Understand how the body works and what to watch for — the knowledge underneath the skill.
Build the habits and hands — rechecks, the ten-second look, safety, and communication.
Pass it on — teach a patient, a classmate, a community. Care that ripples outward.
