Save-A-Life Day empowers the general public to learn and apply steps that can be taken to help save a life. This is an ideal day to schedule community CPR and Stop the Bleed educational courses. Take advantage of the many programs and toolkits available that make it easier to coordinate these programs.

Students from the EM Program Teach NAEMT's FOTS (First On the Scene) Course to members of the University community. Looking for a CPR Class, or your own FOTS class? Check out our partners at the Center for Emergency Medicine: https://centerem.org/
