Legacy Health is NOT currently offering traditional classroom BLS certification courses.

Organ and tissue requestor training

The organ and tissue requestor courses prepare the participant with the knowledge and skills to work with families for organ, eye and tissue donation. This is a national program, sponsored by the Pacific Northwest Transplant Bank. To become a “requestor” each participant takes an initial course and renews annually through an online recertification course. Visit the Pacific Northwest Transplant Bank website for more information.

Recertification training

Each requestor who has completed the Initial Requestor training course must take the Recertification training annually thereafter. This course is offered online for convenient and "just-in-time" training. The estimated time to complete the recertification training is one hour.
