The Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Provider Course is designed for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, whether in or out of hospital. The goal of the ACLS Provider Course is to improve the quality of care provided to the adult victim of a cardiac arrest or other cardiopulmonary emergency.

You will enhance your skills in the treatment of arrest and peri-arrest patients through active participation in a series of simulated cardiac and respiratory cases. These simulations are designed to reinforce important concepts, including

- The Basic Life Support (BLS) Primary Survey
- The ACLS Secondary Survey
- ACLS algorithms
- Effective resuscitation team dynamics

Please arrive at least 20 mins early to sign-in and bring a picture ID.

Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to:

Recognize and initiate early management of peri-arrest conditions that may result in cardiac arrest or complicate resuscitation outcome
Demonstrate proficiency in providing BLS care, including prioritizing chest compressions and integrating AED use
Manage cardiac arrest until the return of spontaneous circulation, transfer of care, or termination of resuscitation
Identify and treat ischemic chest pain and expedite the care of patients with acute coronary syndromes
Recognize other life-threatening clinical situations, such as stroke, and provide effective initial care and transfer to reduce disability and death
Demonstrate effective communication as a member or leader of a resuscitation team and recognize the impact of team dynamics on overall team performance
