Courses for Healthcare Providers

The American Heart Association BLS Provider course is designed for healthcare providers caring for patients both in pre-hospital and in-facility environments. Students entering healthcare fields at CBC will need this course before attending internship/clinical.

The AHA BLS Provider course trains participants to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilations and provide early use of an AED. In the Instructor-led course, students participate in simulated clinical scenarios and learning stations. Students work with an AHA BLS Instructor to complete BLS skills practice and skills testing. Students also complete a written exam.

Course Content:

• High quality CPR for adults, children and infants
• The AHA Chain of Survival, specifically the BLS components
• Use of an AED
• Importance of teams in multi-rescuer resuscitation and performance as an effective member during multi-rescuer CPR
• Relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (choking) for adults and infants.
