EMED 201: Basic Cardiac Life Support for Healthcare Professionals
This course is designed to teach medical students Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR and Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR), which is the psychiatric equivalent to CPR but for psychological emergencies. The BLS portion teaches one and two rescuer CPR, management of an obstructed airway, and CPR for infants and children. Upon completion of the course, students receive an American Heart Association certificate in BLS. The QPR portion of the course will allow students to master techniques on how to recognize and respond to an individual in psychological distress and to help in suicide prevention. Our faculty are certified QPR instructors and students will become QPR certified during this course through the QPR Institute certification process. All medical students must be certified in Basic Cardiac Life Support before the end of the first (autumn) quarter. Students who provide documentation of certification received within six months prior to the date of matriculation will be exempted from the requirement. Other Stanford students may take the CPR portion of the course with the permission of the head TA (see below for contact details) and course directors. Note that QPR is taught in the evening and CPR is taught over 4 hours on a weekend day.
