CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers-BL (CPRO Blended Learning)

This includes the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) to care for a victim experiencing cardiac arrest. The blended learning option combines online learning with in-person skill sessions conducted by a Red Cross-certified instructor.
