“Practice is what saves lives,” says Doug Tobin, a professional firefighter, EMT, and certified CPR instructor with over 20 years of experience in Fire & EMS services. “Healthcare providers need the skills and confidence to act quickly during emergencies – every second counts.”
At Metropolitan Medical Corporation, we are dedicated to providing BLS certification and recertification for healthcare professionals across New Jersey. Our courses are designed to prepare medical staff for real-life emergencies, from child to adult & infant CPR to AED use and choking response with LifeVac.
Recently, the team at Riverside Oral Surgery in West Orange, NJ, attended our BLS recertification course. Participants had hands-on practice with Rescue Bobby, a realistic CPR manikin, allowing them to simulate emergency scenarios that dental and medical staff may encounter in their daily work. From moving patients safely to performing CPR, every exercise reinforced critical skills.

Our BLS courses in New Jersey cover essential life-saving techniques for healthcare providers, including:
- Adult, infant, and child CPR

Participants not only refresh their skills but also learn the latest updates in emergency care protocols. Metropolitan Medical Corporation ensures that healthcare professionals leave the class confident and prepared to respond effectively in urgent situations.
