First aid stations can be found at the following locations:

Each station contains bandages, pain relievers, ice packs, and other first aid products. First aid stations are also located in the cooking areas.  These stations contain specialized products for burns and possible food preparation related injuries.  Several security officers have been trained to administer basic first aid (which included training in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation or CPR).

Though not required by law to have an AED on its premises, the law school embraced this new technology as a part of its medical response program. Since May 22, 2000, the law school was licensed to possess and operate an AED. The law school has contracted with the New York University Hospitals Center AED Program to provide assistance with completing all governmental agencies and regulatory authorities registration documents and continuing oversight of the AED Program.  The Assistant Vice President is the AED Coordinator and is the primary liaison between the law school and the New York University Hospitals Center staff.

A new Powerheart AED Automatic G3 defibrillator was purchased in May 2005 and is located at the 47 Worth Street security desk. In July 2006, the law school received permission to expand its AED Program to include the floors occupied by the law school at 40 Worth Street. There are now two (2) additional Powerheart AED’s located in this building on the seventh and fourteenth floors respectively.

Reporting Medical Emergencies
If you or a fellow member of the community requires medical assistance, you should contact the officer at the 47 Worth Street security desk by dialing extension 2123 (the emergency hotline) from any desk or campus telephone. Remember to tell the officer your location, who is injured, and what happened. A security officer will then be dispatched to your location.  If there is a need for EMS personnel, an officer will also contact the New York City Police Department 911 Operator by use of the CityLink radio (a portable radio at the security desk with has direct communication to the 911 emergency response network).
