New York City Fire Department CPR Training

The FDNY Free CPR Program offers New Yorkers a 30-minute class on compressions-only CPR (please note, this program does not offer CPR certification at this time). The free classes are taught throughout the year by certified FDNY EMS personnel at various locations. To date, the program has successfully trained thousands of New Yorkers in this lifesaving technique. The course offers the following: • Basic instruction on performing hands-only CPR • Basic instruction on how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED) • Practice mannequins for use during class and take-home instruction for follow-up practice. Medical Trauma First Aid Training The presentation will focus on how to respond when someone presents to a medical organization following a sexual assault or domestic violence incident. I will discuss the health-related options, including timeframes for forensic exams and prophylaxis. This will include a discussion on what trauma-informed care entails and how to use it in your practice. This will allow a deeper understanding of the existing resources, as well as allow one to be more confident that they can respond and engage in a way that is helpful and empathic.
