Program Information
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Certification (CPR). A course in CPR that is approved by the American Heart Association (AHA) in Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Workers and must be hands-on training will be required to be completed by the beginning of the Fall semester of the MSIS program and must be current through the end of clinical education. When the student has completed the CPR course, a copy of the card will be submitted to the Program Director to be kept in the student’s records. It is the student’s responsibility to keep this information current.
