This course is provided by an American Heart Association certified instructor. All course topics are taught from the current edition of the Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support student manual. You are required by American Heart Association to bring a copy of this manual to the course.
AHA’s ACLS Course highlights the importance of high-performance team dynamics and communication, systems of care, recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest, immediate post-cardiac arrest, acute dysrhythmia, stroke, and acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
If you are a first time student or have an expired ACLS cartification Please choose the First time course. If you are renewing please send a copy of your unexpired completion card as well as your BLS card. If you do not send your card or have an unexpired card you will be charged full price.
