CPR Course

As we did at last year's Fall meeting, the Southwestern Chapter is offering an CPR renewal session for technologists who need to renew their CPR but do not have the resources, time and/or capabilities to easily do so. This BLS HCP renewal course is through the American Heart Association and consists of online modules for preparation of a skills validation that will be facilitated by authorized AHA Instructors on Friday night of the SWC Fall Educational Meeting..

Our goal is to offer a service to the technologists who aren't able to complete this recertification at their own facility. The total cost is $37.50 which is a great price for the thoroughness and experience you will receive with this session.We believe you will find this to be one of the best CPR courses you have taken, but also the most interesting because your time is spend truly practicing the skills since the information has already been completed on the web. For a free demo of the web course go to http://www.onlineaha.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=main.courseCatalog.

Here is How It Works

Technologists who wish to participate in the BLS HCP CPR renewal will enroll with the SWC for a fee of $20.00. Once you have enrolled, you will be provided a web address to complete the American Heart Association BLS HCP Renewal Course online for a fee of $17.50. This online renewal course teaches the same material as the classroom based course but allows you the flexibility to complete it at home or in the workplace and at your own pace. Topics covered include adult, pediatric and infant CPR in addition to AED use. The comprehensive modules with video guides and online assessments are a thorough review and preparation for the Skills Validation/Check that will be facilitated by authorized registered nurses. Once you have completed the BLS Renewal Course, you will need to print the completion certificate and bring it on Friday, October 2 at 6:30 p.m. to the SWC Fall Educational Meeting for the facilitated Skills Validation/Test. Your enrollment fee of $20.00 pays for this facilitated session. When you successfully complete the Skills Test with our Instructors, you will receive an AHA BLS - Healthcare Provider Card.
