Basic Life Support Testing
Please see sign up instructions below for this course.
The online Basic Life Skills (BLS) Renewal Course provides a review for healthcare professionals who have prior CPR training. This program recognizes that healthcare professionals have knowledge and skills acquired from prior CPR training and years of patient care.
There are two parts to the course: an online test and skills testing.
Skills testing will be offered at the Symposium on Monday, June 9.
To qualify you must first complete the online test at http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3019553
The cost is $17.50 for the online portion. There is no cost for the onsite skills test.
After you have completed both sections of the course, you will be issued an American Heart Association BLS - Healthcare Provider card. Officers will receive their card in the mail after the conference and a copy will be faxed to their eOPF for them.
The tentative schedule for the skills testing will be Monday, June 9 from 8:30 am to 11:30 am. Five officers can be tested every 15-20 minutes for a maximum of 60 officers. A definite schedule will be set once the level of interest is determined.
