The University has expanded the PAD (Public Access Defibrillator) program on campus. AED’s (Automated External Defibrillators) have been upgraded and installed in highly trafficked public areas for use in the event that a person in cardiac arrest may be helped immediately. There are 38 AEDs in various locations across campus.
Training has been provided on AED awareness to faculty and staff who work in a building that houses an AED.
CPR/AED Certification is being offered through the PDC for $45 fee. You will be asked to provide your budget code when you register. The 3.5 hour course prepares the layperson to respond to choking, breathing and cardiac emergencies and provides instruction on how to use an automated external defibrillator in conjunction with CPR.This National Safety Council course meets the current CPR and ECC guidelines using a combination of instructor, video-self-instruction and hands-on training.
The first class of several class sessions will be held on Thursday, May 22.
