ACLS

We are offering unique ACLS that will provide AHA certification for all grads who were locked out of ACLS at the end of this year.  (click here if you are not sure if you qualify for this, those highlighted in yellow are moving forward as Surge C’s and will be prioritized to allow local credentialing) link to list 

This training includes online pre-work, a zoom problem solving session and hands-on individual manikin-based application.  The latter will occur in iCELS under current physical distancing and PPE guidelines.
