i am taking HCR 119 - First Aid: Respding to Emergency. it is a health care course. it Provides knowledge and skills to help sustain life and minimize pain and consequences of injury/illness in an emergency situation. Lectures and hands-on practice of techniques (CPR-AED certification).

is this a science course?
 
It is an elective health course. However, I do not think it fulfills the science requirements mandated by professional dental or medical schools.
 
i wouldn't think so. if you count that as science, you might as well count weight training and nutrition classes.
 
actually AADSAS says to list nutrition classes as "other science" courses
 
interesting (and somewhat surprising), but i suppose nutrition can be more "sciency" than the other two, depending on how in-depth the course material is.

i still equate a first aid class to weight training (where anatomy and training techniques are discussed) on the level of science involved and would be highly surprised if it can be considered a science course.
 
Personally, I don't see why you couldn't if it involves any physiology, anatomy etc which I'm willing to wager it does. I am EMT Basic defib cert and our class had tons of "science" I would probably count it. If it involves things only like calling 9-11 or strapping someone to into a neck brace, then maybe not.
GO SABRES!!!! -- Sorry, superstition.
