Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers
The purpose of the Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers (BLS) program is to ensure that
healthcare providers have the knowledge and skills necessary to respond to breathing and cardiac
emergencies. The course emphasizes active, hands-on learning and uses scenario activities to help
participants learn how to provide CPR, use an AED and relieve an obstructed airway for adult, child
and infant patients.
The Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers program is available in two delivery formats:
classroom (instructor-led) and blended learning, featuring online simulation learning followed by an
in-person skills session.
