I have been accepted to WVSOM and they never said anything about needing CPR, so I don't know. Would sure be nice to know though.🙄

I am pretty sure most if not all schools train in CPR during orientation... UMDNJ does this for sure.

Nate's right...pretty much all schools will have you take a CPR/First Aid class around orientation time, even if you are already certified. This way you will be ready for re-certification and ACLS/PALS two years later in time for your rotations.

PCOM does it at the end of your first year that way it carries over into rotations where you get certified for advanced lifesaving

Well the OP was right, I looked at WVSOM's student handbook and CPR is required prior to matriculation.
