Every year in the United States, more than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside hospitals. Immediate CPR and BLS intervention can double or triple survival rates, but only if responders are trained and confident. As a future physical therapist, your ability to perform high-quality CPR and use an AED could save a patient’s life in the clinic, the classroom, or the community.
South College requires its Physical Therapy students to maintain American Heart Association (AHA) BLS Provider certification as part of its CAPTE-accredited curriculum. Attentive Safety ensures you’re prepared not just to meet program requirements—but to step into clinical practice with confidence. Why Choose Attentive Safety for Your BLS Training?
