Certification in emergency cardiac care is required for acceptance into the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Athletic Training Program (UNL ATP). Following acceptance into the UNL ATP, all students must maintain current certification in emergency cardiac care as part of the UNL ATP requirements.
Preprofessional students enrolled in ATHT 146 will have an opportunity to obtain a certification in emergency cardiac care by taking the American Red Cross CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer. Preprofessional and professional students may take any Board of Certification (BOC)-approved emergency cardiac care equivalent course to meet this requirement. A complete list of emergency cardiac care courses accepted by the BOC and the UNL ATP can be located here.
