  • Course Description: Immediate and temporary treatment for accidental injuries, sudden illness, traumatic shock, and thermal burns. Major emphasis is placed on CPR, artificial respiration, transporting injured persons from one location to another, immobilization of suspected fractures, and poison control. Also included are mental health considerations as related to sickness, injury, and stress management.
  • Students interested in taking the First Aid exam must possess a current CPR and First Aid card from either the Red Cross, American Heart Association, or other recognized organization approved by the Kinesiology department chair.
