We do not require it for non-clinical/registration staff. We do have some clinic sites that are in more rural areas where EMS response times may be longers, or may have clinic hours where there are less clinical team members on site, like weekend or evening hours. In those instances our registration team members often do have BLS training so they can be an extra set of hands in an emergency situation when all hands may be needed.
