Description

Course Description:

Our updated Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) course is based on simulated clinical scenarios that encourage active hands-on participation.

Realistic simulations will reinforce:

• Proficiency in Basic Life Support (BLS) care
• Recognizing and initiating early management of peri-arrest conditions
• Managing cardiac arrest
• Identifying and treating ischemic chest pain and acute coronary syndromes
• Recognizing other life-threatening clinical situations (such as stroke) and providing initial care
• ACLS algorithms
• Effective resuscitation team dynamics

At the end of the course, students will participate in a megacode station to validate and test various skill sets. This new ACLS course improves the quality of care provided to the adult victim of cardiac arrest or cardiopulmonary emergencies.

Days and Times:
Saturdays, 9:00AM-5:00PM ET
