    AbstractUnited Christian Hospital initiated a doctor-based cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) Program. It is a two-hour, focused, adult CPR course, suitable for adults of different age groups and of different educational levels. The course was rated highly by the participants. Most trainees acquired CPR knowledge and skills, and had confidence to perform CPR. This type of training could improve the rate of bystander CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients in this region. Avoiding the complexity and pass-fail psychology that is used in the traditional CPR training curriculum, it can be an alternative to the traditional four-hour instructor-based Basic Life Support (BLS) course.
