I remember reading a couple of posts on this subject in the past, but a search for CPR and First Aid didn’t turn up anything.
The “other requirements” section of the checklist lists: first aid (completed within one year), CPR (must be valid) , and [FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][SIZE=2]Medical Care Provider / Medical 1[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][SIZE=1]st [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][SIZE=2]Aid Provider, among other things. After each of these it specifies: (unless previously met). [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][SIZE=2]Am I correct in assuming that I have “previously met” these requirements by virtue of currently holding a 1600 Ocean Mate? My old STCW certificate lists “proficient in providing medical first aid”, though, as far as i can tell, my current MMC doesn’t (it does list II/1, II/3, IV/2).[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][SIZE=2]I’m a bit gunshy as the current BST requirement tripped me up last time I applied. I’d really like to get all the required paperwork submitted on the first try this time. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][SIZE=2]I don’t post often, but i have learned quite a bit by perusing the forums. Any insight on the above would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
