Online Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) for Healthcare Providers
The Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support certification course builds on the foundation of our BLS certification and assumes basic knowledge in several areas. It is recommended the learner has sound knowledge of the following areas before beginning the ACLS certification class:
- BLS skills
- Basic ECG rhythm interpretation
- Airway management
- Vascular access
- Pharmacology of the drugs commonly used in adult resuscitation
While our ACLS certification course provides education on virtually every aspect of acute resuscitation, learners should only perform tasks that are within their professional scope of practice. Our goal is to provide medical professionals with an innovative learning experience that helps to enhance the systems of care that save lives.
