UConn Rescue currently has a team of 19
American Heart Association Basic Life Support (BLS) instructors and Stop the Bleed instructors. We work hard to consistently offer the highest-quality, most accessible and affordable classes to the University of Connecticut community. All our instructors are cross-trained to serve as Stop the Bleed Instructors as well as AHA BLS Instructors to further our offerings and education.
Justin Pedneault
AHA Training Site Coordinator
Hello everyone! I'm Justin and I've been a part of UConn Rescue since 2015 just after it was founded. I am responsible for the creation of the training program. I have been working in EMS since I was 14 years old and I love teaching and working with our instructor team. I now serve as the Training Site Coordinator from the American Heart Association, overseeing all training compliance and new instructor training at UConn Rescue. I graduated from UConn in May of 2019 and I now work as a Flight Nurse/Paramedic with a local helicopter based critical care transport team.
