Basic Life Support (BLS)

Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers focuses on team response to emergencies in a clinical setting. It is assumed that participants will be working in a clinical setting with access to medical resources and personnel.

Participants also get an opportunity to practice using medical equipment such as a pocket mask or bag-valve mask (BVM). Participants who successfully complete this class will get a certificate in "Basic Life Support" which is valid for 2 years.
