Basic First Aid: Self-Paced Online Training 

Description: Basic first aid, the initial assistance given to a resident/client that has been injured, involves simple yet vital procedures that can mean the difference between life and death. The significance of first aid extends beyond saving lives; it also aids in reducing pain and the severity of an injury during an emergency.

The purpose of first aid is not to provide medical treatment to a resident.  Rather these are techniques we can use in emergency situations until emergency medical services or other medical professionals can treat the resident.  Many of the techniques you will learn in this course can also be used when faced with injuries or emergencies outside of work.

Price: $29 per person
Proof of Completion: Certificate will be issued upon completion.
CEUs: This course is designed for direct care staff and caregivers, not approved for administrator ceus.
