You can take them through the American Heart Association. Is it important on your application? Not really. Most programs will make you retake it during orientation.

the Program will usually give u enrollement to these courses and will also tell u the dates before joining mostly in contract. I came to know about mine from the email the program sent me alongwith the info about the contract.

Hope it helps

Thank you BBB you just saved me 200 bucks. I was going to take it at MassGeneral but I was hoping it would be a plus in my application... looks like it will make no difference... righr?
