SUNY Upstate Medical University's Non-Clinical Employees who are interested in participating in SUNY Upstate's PAD program will receive free training in CPR and AED use. Classes using the American Heart Association Heartsaver format (class length is 4 hours) will be offered on a regular basis. New York state law requires that users of an AED have completed a recognized course in AED use, or have otherwise received training in its use during their education as health care professionals. Individuals who use an AED in a good faith effort to revive a patient are protected from liability by New York state public health law.
Upon course completion, the student will receive a Heartsaver AED certification card that is good for two years. To enroll in CPR and AED training program, employees should contact Darlene Button, the PAD Coordinator in the Department of Emergency Medicine at 464-4852 or buttond@upstate.edu.
