Great! We offer these periodically throughout the year so keep an eye out for upcoming dates that might work for you. Make sure that you have completed the online course requirements (new 2024 BLS and ALS required) as those are prerequisite for registration. If you have questions about these courses, please email cornellsimlab@gmail.com for help.
