CPR and First Aid Instructions for Students Entering Year 1

  1. Incoming MED students are required to complete Standard First Aid with CPR BLS and AED before their two pre-clerkship years. Please provide copies of your certification to the UGME (3A20) office by September 13, 2022. Your certification must remain valid until June 1, 2024.  BLS is a one year certificate and will require recertification prior to beginning your second year of pre-clerkship.
  2. We understand that you may have already completed these requirements or plan to complete them independently. We recommend that you confirm that your certification meets the requirements of the College of Medicine prior to Orientation.
