Course Description:
The American Heart Association's Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support course is totally redesigned for healthcare providers who direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, in or out of hospital.  Advanced Cardiopulmonary Life Support incorporates
current American Heart Association ECC guidelines for real life “code” situations.

The “ACLS for Experienced Providers” recertification course is administered in an accelerated format (approximately 3 .5 -4 hours) emphasizing advance preparation for cardiopulmonary emergencies in perioperative and critical care areas, recent changes in AHA guidelines, and a look ahead into current peer reviewed research related to ACLS and post-event care.  The goal of this course is to improve outcomes of adults suffering from cardiopulmonary emergencies. 

The course format will be a combination of interactive presentation and hands-on demonstration.   American Heart Association ACLS cards will be issued to participants who successfully complete the course.
