Goal

The goal is to give students in the Medical Academy an opportunity to be prepare during emergency situations. Additionally, these devices will provide students with the knowledge to serve their community and loved-ones through CPR/AED certification.  

What will be done with my students

The CPR course is completed through the American Heart Association (AHA). It is a 2 to 3 week process that teaches the students all of the details about CPR, AED and being a first responder. The students will learn Adult, Child and infant rescue CPR, AED and rescue for a chocking victim. The most common requirement for all Medical Professionals is to be CPR/AED certified. As the students learn about the medical field and what it takes to become a medical professional, they will be challenged in a variety of ways. Achieving the CPR/AED certification will give them a sneak peak, and great starting point considering the preparation and requirements of a medical professional.  

Benefits to my students

Part of the American Heart Association's main goal is to save lives all across the world through CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) training and education. The idea is to give everyone a fair chance to be prepared to act in emergencies situations. Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States and most incidents occur at home to loved-ones. The expected outcome is to educate, teach and prepare every student in the class to become CPR/AED certified. It will also serve as an opportunity for teachers and staff to receive the same certification. If everyone learns how to respond to an emergency, the chances of losing a loved-one decrease exponentially. Students are able to provide life saving services to those in a time of desperate need.
