Re-Certification for Basic Cardiac Life Support for Healthcare Professionals

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to provide medical students re-certification in Basic Cardiac Life Support (BLS). Initial certification (EMED 201) occurs in the first year and expires 2 years from the initial course. This course will fulfill the requirements of the current BLS certification needed to complete the mandatory Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training prior to graduation. Student will refresh their skills in one and two rescuer CPR for infants and adults, management of an obstructed airway, and use of an automated external defibrillator. This course is offered every quarter on medical school RCM days (the third Friday of every 2nd quarter) and requires a permission code to enroll to allow us to balance students across the four available sessions. Note that to be fully registered for the course you must complete a separate form sent out by the head TA in addition to registering in the quarter you take the course; you will not receive course dates and information without completing this form. If you have any questions, or if you are a non-medical student who wishes to take the course, please email the head TA, Chelsea Li, at [email protected].
