This course is for seasoned healthcare providers who are proficient in providing BLS and ACLS skills, reading and interpreting EKGs, understanding ACLS pharmacology, and those who regularly lead in cardiovascular assessment and treatment of prearrest, arrest or post arrest victims.

ACLS for Experienced Providers (ACLS EP) goes beyond the core ACLS training by offering critical thinking opportunities for those advanced, experienced healthcare providers who use ACLS on a regular basis. The goal of ACLS EP is to improve outcomes in complex cardiovascular, respiratory and other (e.g. metabolic, toxicologic) emergencies by expanding beyond the core ACLS guidelines and encouraging critical thinking and decision-making strategies.  Through cooperative learning and active participation in case-based scenarios, learners enhance their skills in the differential diagnosis and treatment of prearrest, arrest and post arrest situations. ACLS EP instructor candidates must be current ACLS instructors or must be an advanced practitioner who cares for critically ill patients and up-to-date with current ACLS guidelines. This course includes two days of classroom learning with an additional day of monitored teaching at the instructor candidate’s site.

Travel for monitored teaching outside of 30 mile radius will be subject to mileage. Each instructor candidate must also purchase an ACLS EP Instructor Package separately for $234.00 which includes provider manual and instructor DVDs. If there are multiple candidates per institution, you may share an Instructor Package.

TRAUMA strikes down its many victims swiftly and indiscriminately. In that first critical hour after someone has been severely injured, the physician must act with speed, knowledge, and skill.

The American College of Surgeons (ACS) Committee on Trauma developed the current ATLS Program in accordance with the College's long-standing dedication to improvement of care for the surgical patient. The program emphasizes the first hour of initial assessment and primary management of the injured patient, starting at the point in time of injury and continuing through initial assessment, life-saving intervention, re-evaluation, stabilization, and when needed, transfer to a facility in which the patient can receive specialized care, e.g., a trauma center.

STUDENT COURSE

The two-day initial course consists of pre- and post-course tests, core content lectures, case presentations, discussions, and development of life-saving manipulative skills, practical laboratory experience, and a final performance proficiency evaluation. Upon completion of the course, physicians should feel confident in implementing the trauma skills taught in this course.
