PE 261: Advanced First Aid & Emergency Care (starts October 17 and ends December 7, 2006) is designed specifically for individuals interested in becoming “first responders” or who have present or anticipate future job-related responsibilities for emergency preparedness and response (law enforcement or EMS personnel, firefighters, business/industry response teams, lifeguards, flight attendants, coaches, athletic trainers, and others).
