•    Demonstrate proficiency in providing BLS care, including prioritizing chest compressions and integrating Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) use.
•    Manage cardiac arrest until return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), termination of resuscitation or transfer of care.
•    Identify and treat ischemic chest pain and expedite the care of patients with acute coronary syndrome.
•    Recognize other life-threatening clinical situations, such as stroke, and provide effective initial care and transfer to reduce disability and death.
•    Demonstrate effective communication as a member or leader of a resuscitation team and recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance.
