Our American Heart Association (AHA) ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) training also referred to as Advanced Cardiac Life Support, arms clinicians with the skills they need to provide urgent treatment when faced with cardiac emergencies in prearrest, arrest, and postarrest patients. ACLS training goes beyond BLS (Basic Life Support) to provide a more comprehensive knowledge of advanced life support.
This course is designed for experienced emergency and critical care clinicians including doctors, nurses, AEMTs, and paramedics and covers advanced resuscitation skills and the development of emergency team leadership abilities.
Our instructors are experienced healthcare professionals and certified by the AHA.
The American Heart Association strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in all AHA courses and has developed instructional materials for this purpose. Use of these materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the AHA.
