Are you interested in emergency
medicine or health education? Would you like to contribute to a life-saving
cause? Education in Medical Emergencies (EME), an Emory undergraduate student
organization, is recruiting volunteers to teach compressions-only CPR at the
annual Texas Two-Step CPR event on Saturday, February 9th.
Texas Two-Step CPR is a nationwide one-day event that aims to educate members of the Atlanta community in hands-only CPR in a simple, five-minute training session. Educating the public in CPR can increase the rates of bystander CPR to buy time before emergency medical services arrive, and therefore exponentially increases the chance of survival for heart attack victims. Volunteers will be expected to complete a 2-hour shift teaching hands-only CPR to members of the public.
To become a volunteer, you must
attend our training session on Sunday, January 27th, from 5:00-6:30 pm, in
Candler Library 121. To sign up for a training session,
