webshy Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Do we require a valid CPR and/or first aid certificate? If so, when do we require these certifications by? While I am a practicing paramedic, I don't actually have a card that says I am certified in either CPR or first aid. If we need to show these cards, I will work on getting proof of certification from my employer, so that I don't have to sit through the actual classes. Thanks for your help!

Elaine You can typically have your employer write something like she has EMCA which exceed the requirements of Standard first aid and health provider CPR. I imagine it should be easy to get from your employer. I have AMFR, a first aid course, and it actually says right on the certification that statement. Congratulations Elaine on getting in. I met you at Dalhousie and I'm happy things worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobey Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I haven't seen anything saying that we need to be certified in first aid or CPR. It's not on the 'checklist' on their website. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_B Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 You don't need it. They train you here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderDog Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 On a separate note, are there ANY universities that require you to have it before you apply/attend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitalcity Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I'm pretty sure that ALL medical schools require that you have CPR + Aid b/f matriculating but NONE require that you have those during the application process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
