Hands-on learning. Expert instruction. Better patient outcomes.

Last week, we hosted a RECOVER CPR Certification Course, where instructor candidates first learned how to lead effective CPR training and then stepped into the instructor role themselves, guiding rescuers through hands-on scenarios and simulations.

Seeing veterinary professionals come together to improve CPR training and patient care was truly rewarding. From teamwork and leadership to life-saving CPR skills, the energy in the room was remarkable. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this course a success!

We look forward to welcoming our next group of RECOVER CPR learners and instructors!
