Veterinary CPR Certification/RECOVER Rescuer Basic and Advanced Life Support Lab (ticketed event)

How do we best treat animals in cardiopulmonary arrest? An evidence-based veterinary CPR guideline published by the RECOVER Initiative in 2012 aimed at determining how to maximize the chances of patient survival led to the official veterinary CPR certification process approved by the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care. This course will equip participants with concepts and techniques in Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) reinforced through scenario-based simulations.

The certification process consists of an online course required and provided RECOVER followed by onsite training at the conference to complete the rescuer certification. As per RECOVER guidelines the online RECOVER BLS and ALS courses MUST be completed to attend the onsite training at the conference! Successful completion of this course grants participants certification as a RECOVER BLS Rescuer and a RECOVER ALS Rescuer. Human medical professionals certify in human CPR. Veterinary medical professionals should certify themselves in veterinary CPR! Please note the following: Once registered for the course through SWVS, RECOVER will provide instructions on how to complete the online course. Please bring proof of BLS and ALS online course completion to the conference.
