We would like to give our members the opportunity to participate in a Basic Life Support (BLS) Training Course run by Dr. Risavi and other certified instructors. This event will be held on Saturday, April 12, from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM, at the Kearsarge Fire Department, and will provide students with both skills practice and skills testing required for BLS certification.
The American Heart Association (AHA) BLS Course is designed to equip healthcare providers with the essential skills needed to recognize and respond to life-threatening emergencies. Training will cover high-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants, the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), effective ventilations with a barrier device, relief of choking in responsive and unresponsive victims, and the importance of early recognition and intervention in cardiac arrest situations. Following the hands-on practice session, students will complete the skills testing component necessary for certification. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive their AHA BLS Provider e-card certification via email.
All necessary equipment for training will be provided by Dr. Risavi. An excel sign-up sheet will be available for students to register, with a maximum of 25 participants allowed. Students will adhere to current LECOM COVID regulations throughout the event.
This is an excellent opportunity to develop life-saving skills, interact with fellow students, and gain an essential certification for clinical rotations and future medical practice. We encourage all interested students to sign up and take advantage of this valuable training experience!
