ACLS

ACLS is designed for Healthcare Providers in the resuscitation of the critically ill patient at the advanced level using medications, cardiac monitoring, electrical therapy and advanced airway placement. Any patient in any scenario can instantly become critical. ACLS training allows you to handle these unexpected situations.  The importance of effective team communication and appropriate action during resuscitation is emphasized.

ACLS is a two-day course. If you have taken ACLS in the past and need to renew, you may instead take the one-day ACLS Renewal course. Upon completion of the course, students receive their American Heart Association ACLS course completion card.  Lunch and refreshments are included in the price of the class. The cost is $465 for the full two-day course or $335 for the renewal course.
