Course Description:

This online course qualifies for 1 hour of CE credit that is automatically issued with a digital certificate upon completion.

As rare as medical emergencies in the dental setting are, it’s still critical to have the proper equipment as well as training in the event of a crisis. Review the essential components for an emergency kit in this course presented by DOCS Education and Jim Bovia, EMT-P, who also leads the DOCS’ Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification training.
