Basic Medic First Aid® with AED- Jasper – Med- ic First Aid® with AED (automated external defibril- lator) is a basic training course in emergency care de- signed for use in the business/industrial setting. Car- diopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), AED use, and other important emergency care skills are combined into this course, which allows the graduate to function with one consistent set of priorities in a medical emergency. Stu- dents learn the same priorities of care and approach to the patient used by professionals. This approach results in a continuity of care as the patient is passed on to the EMT, nurse, and doctor. Successful completion of the course means the student has acquired these skills, understands the dangers of an emergency scene and how to evaluate them, and under- stands the use of protective barriers. Taught by nation- ally certified instructors, the course satisfies OSHA re- quirements for industry and business. A Medic First Aid® with AED course will be offered Tuesday, October 9 from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. in the Health and Wellness Classroom at Memorial Southside Office, 1100 West 12th Avenue in Jasper. The fee for the class is $ 65; class size is limited, and pre-registration is required by visiting Memorial Hospi- tal's website at www.mhhcc.org and clicking on "Classes & Events," or calling the Health and Wellness department at 812-996 -2399 or toll-free at 800 -852-7279, ext. 2399.
