Syracuse University Ambulance (SUA) offers cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training for students, faculty and staff. The next available class will be held on Friday, Sept. 22, from 4:30-7:30 p.m. in 020 Lyman Hall.
This training will offer the American Heart Association (AHA) Healthcare Provider (HCP-BLS) class, which will review adult, child and infant CPR, including automated external defibrillator (AED) usage. Members of the campus community that complete the training will be CPR certified at the HCP level for the next two years.
“In this class, you will review and gain the knowledge of the five links of the American Heart Association chain of survival. With this knowledge, you will be ready to recognize and assist in the event of a cardiac emergency on or off campus,” says Paul Smyth, manager of emergency medical services in Health Services.
The course fee is $50 per person, which includes the certification and a pocket mask. Attendees can pay by check or SU interdepartmental order. Please bring a form of payment to the class.
To register, interested participants can contact Smyth at pjsmyth@syr.edu. Class sizes are limited to six to eight people per session. If a group or department would like to arrange a private class, contact Smyth.
