The Basic Life Support Health Care Provider Class teaches CPR skills for helping victims of all ages (including doing ventilation with a barrier device, and a bag-valve mask device); use of an automated external defibrillator (AED); and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (FBAO).

Licensed and certified health care providers (physicians, nurses, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, respiratory therapists, physical and occupational therapists, dentists, dental assistants, physician's assistants, residents or fellows, or medical or nursing students in training, aides, medical or nursing assistants, police officers, and other health personnel) will benefit from this class.

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. You will be
practicing skills that require working on your hands and knees, bending, standing, and lifting.

Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
This class is designed for experienced ACLS providers who wish to renew their certification.
Through the ACLS Renewal, health care providers will enhance their skills in the treatment of the adult victim of cardiac arrest or other cardiopulmonary emergencies and learn to identify resuscitation needs in special circumstances. Basic life support CPR, the integration of basic life support with advanced cardiac life support interventions, and the importance of effective team interaction and communication during resuscitation will be reviewed.
