Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Initial and Recertification Provider Courses 2025

Feb 13–Dec 11, 2025 Open Allied Health Dentistry Medicine Nursing Pharmacy

Description

The Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) Initial and Recertification Provider courses are designed for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, in or out of the hospital setting. 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. Students will practice the application of these and other skills in simulated cases, and will practice both team leader and team member roles.

Course credit is not provided by MAHEC. Continuing education credit will be awarded by the American Heart Association® when participants claim their certification card.

Pre-requisite

Before the course, complete the mandatory Precourse Self-Assessment modules on the American Heart Association e-learning site.
