BLS/CPR : New Healthcare Provider CPR Upcoming Courses

Designed for: Healthcare providers such as physicians, nurses, EMS personnel, dentists, respiratory therapists, athletic trainers, physical therapists and pharmacists (working in an in-patient facility). Review "Which CPR or First Aid Course Is Right For Me?"

This course is for healthcare providers who have never taken the Healthcare Provider level CPR or for renewals that would like more practice. This course goes more slowly than the Renewal course, providing more skills practice and review time. Successful completion of the skills and written examination is required for certification.

Content: It covers Adult, Child and Infant CPR (including 2-rescuer scenarios and the use of the bag mask with or without an advanced airway), AED, and foreign-body airway obstruction.

Pre-course review of the 2008 ECC/AHA Guidelines strongly encouraged (see Study Materials below). Additional library materials also available in the Education Resources Department for CMC employees.

Certification: This is a 2-year certification. Successful completion of the skills and written examination is required for certification. Cards will be mailed within 30 days of successful completion of the course.

Agenda: 4 hour course; watch-then-practice format with a skills and written examination. Must attend entire 4 hour class. Please be on time as the course begins directly at start time.
