CPR INSTRUCTORS NEEDED!
CPR Red Cross Instructor Training Classes

The Northern Virginia Dental Society is looking for NVDS members who are interested in becoming instructors for CPR classes offered through our society. The cost for the instructor training is being covered by the dental society. However, we are asking that each instructor commits to teaching at least two CPR classes per year. All classes are held at the NVDS Central Office (4330 Evergreen Lane, Suite N, Annandale, VA). If you are interested in learning more about becoming an instructor, please call Tracey Dougherty (703-642-5298) or email to: tdougherty@nvds.org.
