    Frequently Asked Questions about First Aid

    First aid is the help given to someone suffering from an injury that helps the condition from getting worse.

Whether you are thinking about going into a career in the medical field or not, first aid will give you a basic understanding of what to do if someone is injured and needs help. What you learn can be taken into a medical, psychological, or self-care practice to mitigate stressful situations. Learning first aid can also guide you into a specific medical area of interest.
