Automated External Defibrillation (AED) Certificate Course

Date: 04/04/2026

On 4 April 2026, our Medical Club organized an Automated External Defibrillation (AED) Certificate Course to equip students with essential life-saving knowledge and skills in emergency cardiac care. The training strengthened their understanding of heart function and prepared them to respond effectively during cardiac arrest.

Students learned the physiology of the heart, common cardiac arrest rhythms, and the principles of defibrillation. They were introduced to how an AED works, including standard protocols, key safety considerations, and basic equipment maintenance.

Through hands-on practice and scenario-based simulations, participants applied their knowledge in realistic emergency situations and built confidence in using AED devices under different conditions. The course concluded with written and practical assessments to evaluate understanding and competency.

The programme enhanced students' medical knowledge and technical competence while reinforcing their ability to act responsibly in life-threatening situations.
