This lecture and laboratory course is based upon the US DOT National Standard Curriculum.  The course provides training in basic emergency medical care.  Combined with a co-requisite in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), this course is ideal for lifeguards, scout leaders, bus drivers, law enforcement, and volunteer firefighters.  This is a prerequisite for those planning on taking emergency medical course work.
