Course Offerings

This course teaches healthcare professionals how to recognize life-threatening emergencies, provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), use an automated external defibrillator (AED), and relieve choking in a timely and effective way. The course uses the American Heart Association's "practice-while-watching" technique, in which instructors observe students and provide feedback and guidance.
