The UT School of Nursing welcomed the UT Austin Latinx Health Professions Organization (LHPO) on October 7th for a dedicated BLS Certification class led by Juan Rocha (Training Center Coordinator). During this hands-on training, LHPO members learned how to perform high quality CPR on adult and infant manikins and practiced essential life saving skills used in real emergency situations.

As future healthcare professionals, their commitment to mastering these skills reflects the leadership and service they bring to the UT Austin community. We were proud to support their growth and preparedness as they continue their journey in health professions.
