Do you want to be ready to help a person in need, but aren’t sure what to do? Take Save A Life Training, or SALT, a free, two-hour class taught by Glenn Davis, director of Emergency Medical Services for the Institute for Rural Health Research, and coordinated by Travis Parker, EMS program specialist for the IRHR. The first hour covers high-quality CPR, the Heimlich maneuver, airway obstruction and Automated External Defibrillator skills. The second hour covers Stop the Bleed. 

SALT is offered periodically in the Northeast Medical Building on the Bryce campus, but Davis and Parker will also bring the training to groups across campus. Registration is required, and certificates will be issued upon completion. SALT also qualifies as a wellness class towards WellBAMA Rewards.
