Course detail: Administering Naloxone

First responders often find themselves on the frontlines of the opioid epidemic. In the course of their duties, they are at risk of unintentional exposure to dangerous substances such as synthetic opioids, which are increasingly prevalent in medical emergencies, crime scenes, and other areas of public safety operations.
