Vicodin Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hey everyone! I'm assuming a course called the Heartsaver® CPR AED course would fulfill the Basic Life Support Certification requirement, right? Can anyone give input on the course they used? It says it's one day (4 hours) and there's an exam at the end.. meaning all of the certificate requirements would be fulfilled in that one day? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelingTheBern Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 CPR HCP is similar in certification as BCLS.Some medical schools give you the ACLS through the core emergency clerkship rotation. However, I believe this is school dependent. If your school is not one of the schools that gives you ACLS cert through the core ER rotation, then you should get BCLS through Heart and Stroke as it is the pre-requisite for ACLS.The reason I'm saying you should get BCLS specifically is because heart and stroke will not take CPR HCP as the pre-req fulfillment for ACLS. I called them first-hand to ask a few years back because I wanted to take ACLS. And ACLS is important for CaRMs applications.But H&S may have changed regulations, try checking their website/calling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicodin Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Yep I emailed them and they told me I would need the BLS course instead, since it's for healthcare providers. I assume that's the same as the BCLS you're referring to. I thought getting the certificate would take longer than 4 hours lol not complaining CPR HCP is similar in certification as BCLS.

sel89 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I previously took a Canadian Red Cross course that certified me in CPR C and AED. Is that sufficient for their requirements? On McGill's website it says "You must provide (by July 31 of the year in which you are commencing undergraduate medical education ) proof of certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), level C or C+, and automated external defibrillation (AED) training".

Vicodin Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 It says it must be valid until at least March 2019. Just email mcgill a copy of your certificate and ask if it's okay I previously took a Canadian Red Cross course that certified me in CPR C and AED. Is that sufficient for their requirements?

bellejolie Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Yes I emailed - if anyone has recommendations for ones they took in Montreal in English it would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneStar Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Yes I emailed - if anyone has recommendations for ones they took in Montreal in English it would be appreciated. Thanks! I think the Quebec heart and stoke foundation gives the course at certain YMCAs on the island and the courses are usually available in english as well. I'll email admissions and let you know if those work out - they should, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellejolie Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Awesome. They also emailed me back and said that course I posted is fine too. For anyone who wants to take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
