I spent 15 years as a firefighter and paramedic, and I’ve used MAB skills when patients are assaultive…

There’s nothing more important than keeping our patients, our crew, and ourselves safe. When the situation with a patient becomes dangerous, you need to know how to de-escalate it for everyone’s sake. I’ve been attacked by patients in the past, and I relied on my MAB training to know what to do. The tools you learn in MAB can help you recognize patient triggers, prevent escalation, and — most importantly — protect yourself and those around you.

California state bills AB508 and SB1299 are nearly identical. The main difference is that SB1299 covers several hospital-specific requirements not included in AB508. This content is covered in our Management of Assaultive Behavior course here at SureFire CPR.

Broadly speaking, any course that meets the requirements listed on the AB508 California State Bill is an MAB course. However, not all courses go by this name. Some institutions have changed their course names for branding purposes. To be sure that you are enrolling in the right course, be sure to read the course description and check that it does meet the requirements listed on the AB508 California State Bill.
