Advanced Cardiac Life Support Renewal course
Our ACLS Provider Renewal course tests and strengthens your high-level skills and knowledge involving core ACLS concepts in simulated, cardiac-related emergency situations to help you in your practice.
In this concentrated course, your proficiency will be evaluated in high-quality CPR, high-performance team dynamics and communication, systems of care, recognition and intervention of cardiopulmonary arrest, acute dysrhythmia, stroke, acute coronary syndromes, and more.
Teamwork, teamwork, teamwork
You’ll no longer be tested individually on your ability to lead a team, especially since many of you might never assume that position in your real-life healthcare role. You and other members of your team will pass – or fail – based on your team’s performance. The reason for the change is that, in a real-life situation, patient outcomes depend largely upon the performance of the entire team, not just one individual.
