ACLS Course for EMS

Advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) for EMS

Applicable, fun and affordable! no more cookie cutter courses to meet the required job training for medical command. Provide your paramedics with applicable knowledge in a course format that recognizes their expertise, while offering useful, practical updates in science. Eliminate hours of repetition learning assessment tools and interventions that Paramedics utilize every day. Instead, provide them with the information they need to have an impact on the lives of their cardiac patients. Our course will review the current American Heart Association recommendations for the assessment and treatment of cardiac and stroke patients in the field. It will emphasize the tools that are available in the truck, rather than those available in the ICU. Our ACLS course will emphasize the life saving interventions that occur in the first 30 minutes after symptom onset in both cardiac and stroke patients.

Our advanced cardiac life support course is the only one available that provides field applicable knowledge in a concise, easy to follow format. By taking into account the preexisting knowledge of emergency medical service personnel, we can eliminate hours of expensive educational time, while still meeting the ACLS requirements of medical command facilities. Never again pay your personnel to attend an ACLS course that provides information that is not applicable to EMS. Give them an ACLS class that was written for EMS personnel by EMS personnel.
