An all-day First Aid & CPR Training session for Biotech and Business SHSM students took place on Friday, December 13, 2019 in the small gym. Students learned a variety of skills from three former paramedics including how to assess a potentially dangerous scene, approach an unconscious patient, use an automated external defibrillator (AED), and perform chest compressions on infants, children, and adults.
