First Aid, CPR, and BLS Training
Doctors On Call, Inc
Doctors On Call offers free First Aid, CPR, and Basic Life Support (BLS) training designed to equip individuals and communities — especially those in underserved areas — with the practical skills needed to respond confidently in medical emergencies. These courses are taught by experienced healthcare professionals and emphasize hands-on practice, clear instruction, and real-world scenarios to ensure participants leave prepared to act when minutes matter.
What the training covers
First Aid: Assessment of injuries and illnesses, wound care, bleeding control (including tourniquet use), fracture and sprain stabilization, burns, allergic reactions, poisoning response, and safe patient handling.
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation): Adult, child, and infant chest compressions and rescue breaths, use of barrier devices, recognition of cardiac arrest, and team-based response techniques.
BLS (Basic Life Support): High-quality CPR, integrated use of AEDs (automated external defibrillators), airway management, rescue breathing, and coordinated response for healthcare providers and first responders. BLS includes rhythm recognition basics and scenarios that mirror clinical settings.
Why this training matters
Saves lives: Immediate, effective action—especially high-quality CPR and early defibrillation—significantly increases survival rates from cardiac arrest and other life-threatening events.
Reduces complications: Proper first aid limits the severity of injuries and lowers the risk of infection and long-term disability.
Builds community resilience: Widespread training creates safer schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods where more people can respond effectively in emergencies.
Empowers underserved communities: Free access removes financial barriers so everyone, regardless of income, can gain crucial skills.
Prepares caregivers and professionals: BLS is essential for healthcare workers, community health volunteers, teachers, and childcare providers who may be first on scene.
