Physical therapists serve a critical role in helping patients manage pain and movement in the healthcare industry and are also key members of the rehabilitation stage after medical emergencies. Since physical therapists work so hands-on with patients, they must be appropriately trained in CPR if an emergency happens.

Best CPR Course for Physical Therapists

Several courses are offered through the American Heart Association (AHA), but the best one for physical therapists is the Basic Life Support (BLS) course. Designed for nurses, doctors, medical & dental assistants, EMS professionals, and physical and occupational therapists, BLS teaches single-rescuer and team basic life support skills for application in pre-hospital and in-facility environments.
