| OVERVIEW | ||||
    |
Emergency University revolutionized the healthcare training industry when
it became the first company in 1997 to offer nationally accredited web-based
Adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillation
(AED) courses.
|
|||
 In 1991, Emergency University's program methodology and recommendations were adopted by California's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) as statewide guidelines for training, reporting and quality assurance in AED. "Dr. Braun's [Emergency University’s] leadership in preparing persons to deal expertly with medical emergencies...is outstanding..." Diane Feinstein California Senator |
||||
 Working
extensively with San Francisco Giants, local communities and the
media, Emergency University staff developed large scale community CPR training
events, such as Save-a-Life Saturday at Candlestick Park, Save-a-Life Sunday
at the San Francisco Zoo, and CPR training to elementary, middle school,
and high school students throughout California to reach all sectors of
the public in the emergency health care system. |
||||
 For the San Francisco Giants, Emergency University staff established an internal emergency response plan in Candlestick Park. "Because of Dr. Braun's [Emergency University’s] program, I can safely say that the SF Giants have achieved the kind of medical response we can be proud of." Jorge Costa San Francisco Giants Vice President |
||||
 Our unique "blended" approach to CPR and AED training maximizes the learning potential and retention of all types of adult learners, while streamlining the classroom time needed to obtain the level of competence and confidence needed for certification.
|
||||
 Developed
by medical professionals and innovative educators from the University of
California San Francisco and Stanford University Medical Center , Emergency
University's clinically based training courses reflect decades of experience
with real life-threatening emergencies and actual AED program management
and training."Dr. Braun [Emergency University] has a long history of producing exemplary training programs in California. The transfer of her expertise and the Center's technology to the schools and community is an outstanding public service." Willie Brown San Francisco Mayor |
||||
 Emergency University staff have provided quarterly re-certification skills to AED operators for over a decade, while studying the effectiveness and safety record for over 3000 cardiac arrest events managed by non-medical personnel. "Thanks to Dr. Braun's [Emergency University’s] tireless efforts, the number of San Francisco residents able to perform CPR in an emergency has tripled to 25%." David Soffa, MD San Francisco Medical Society President |
||||
 Emergency University staff designed, launched and tested the first large urban automated external defibrillation (AED) program in the United States in the city of San Francisco in 1989, doubling survival from cardiac arrest. EU staff trained thousands of non-medical personnel to use the automated external defibrillator in both the private sector - from single, small business units to high-rise multiplex settings, and in the public sector – from the streets to public arenas. |
||||
 Our decades of experience in defibrillation training allow us to focus
our emergency training curriculum on the essential information needed to
operate a defibrillator safely and effectively - not on providing a medical
degree to your employees. |
