Taking a CPR and First Aid class before applying to medical school

Article Category: Education

Author Name: Thomas Anguella Jr.

Depending on your medical school career goals, learning CPR and First Aid can be a significant addition to your medical college application. Whether you are actively applying to medical school or still getting your feet wet in undergrad, getting CPR and first aid certified is a great way to accent yourself. Even if you have not yet began the application process, CPR and first aid certifications can also be applied to your roles in extracurricular collegiate activities as well. But let's be frank here, the objective is to have the most competitive medical school application, an application that sets you apart and allows you to circumvent the hundreds of other applicants. Most applicants do not realize that they need some sort of CPR certification for medical school. CPR classes are NOT usually provided by the medical school directly, however they are required to begin clinical rotations. It is a good idea to get these certifications out of the way early, so that you can begin clinical objectives without any delays.

Riding with an EMS squad or volunteering at the local hospital are examples of great ways to accent your personal resume for medical school. If your objective is to add EMS or other direct medical experience to your application, taking a healthcare provider level CPR class should be a priority. In most states you will not be able to ride on an ambulance or volunteer at a hospital if you are not already certified in healthcare provider level CPR. It is important not to wait until arriving at medical school to finally get certified in CPR, if you do so it can severely limit the activities you could have otherwise been a part of in undergrad.

Some schools make it easy for students to locate local CPR classes, however these courses are usually given through separate departments of the hospital. Usually, schools rely on the community and faculty education departments to hold CPR classes for the medical students. In some cases, CPR courses are only available at surrounding organizations, which may or may not be affiliated with the college. Registering for these classes are usually done independently an at most times the costs of the class are incurred by the student and may or may not be covered by financial aid directly. Specific CPR classes are required for medical students, often this is the BLS for Healthcare Providers course offered through an American Heart Association authorized training center or training site. It is important to know that if you take a non-healthcare provider CPR course, you will be required to take an additional CPR course but at the healthcare provider level.

It is important to get these certifications out of the way before leaving undergrad, even if your goal isn't medical school anymore. Nursing majors as well as biomedical graduates will need healthcare provider level CPR before they can practice. It is important to determine the requirements of your specific program early so that you can stay prepared and up to date with your certifications.
