Cardlopulmonary Resuscitation

This required first-year course provides instruction in adult, child, and infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques. The course follows the American Heart Association's standards for meeting the educational objectives and providing basic life support as a healthcare provider. Participants are trained to promptly recognize cardiac arrest, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilations, and provide early use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), as part of a team, and individually. The course also teaches how to relieve choking. A BLS Healthcare Provider card will be awarded to the student following satisfactory completion of the skills test and written test.
