RECOVER CPR Certification Course
May 23, 2024 (no hotel stay)
Course Description
This course will teach the concepts and techniques of RECOVER Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS). The certification process consists of an online course followed by onsite training at the conference. Because of this, participants must have successfully completed the RECOVER online BLS and ALS courses available at recoverinitiative.org. Successful completion of this course grants certification as a RECOVER BLS and ALS Rescuer.
Human medical professionals certify in human CPR. Veterinary medical professionals should certify themselves in veterinary CPR! Registration for the online portion of the certifying course is included in the registration fee of the onsite portion to be held at the conference. Once registration for this lab is complete, participants will be notified with login information for the online portion of the course and must be completed before the onsite portion for the individual to become certified in RECOVER CPR.
