A BLS for Healthcare Providers is short for Basic Life Support. This class educates healthcare providers in a variety of skills, including CPR for all ages of victims. The BLS course also teaches how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED) and how to remove a foreign body in the airway. A professional level course, it's aimed at those who care for patients in more than one type of setting, including both in and out of hospital.

When choosing your healthcare provider, consider asking if the doctor and his staff have taken the BLS Healthcare Provider course. You might also inquire about how much continuing education the office personnel have. Good healthcare providers should take the time to be aware of new information in their field.
