Re: Should First Aid Be A Required Course?

Yes, but should you get college credit for it? That's where I'm drawing the line. Yes, I think everyone should learn the Heimlich and all parents should know child/infant CPR/ choking. I just don't see how it could be spread out over a 15 week semester and be considered an academic subject that everyone from nursing to engineering must take. (yes, I could see the reaction of the Dean of the Engineering school that resented all those "artsy, fartsy classes that had no business in his curriculum"- and that was a quote from my summer as an orientation leader)
