Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is specifically designed for healthcare professionals who are involved in either leading or participating in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest, cardiovascular emergencies, or those working in emergency response roles. Upon successful completion of this course, students will receive a course completion card that remains valid for a duration of two years. It is essential to consult your employer to ensure you are enrolling in the appropriate course.

ACLS places a strong emphasis on various aspects, including the prevention of cardiac arrest, the early and continuous delivery of high-quality CPR, the integration of Basic Life Support (BLS) principles into ACLS procedures, and the significance of effective teamwork. The course also involves interactive, hands-on classroom activities that focus on team dynamics.

This video-based course incorporates real-world scenarios, utilizing actual patient videos and lifelike simulations to actively engage participants in realistic clinical situations. The hands-on class format is specifically designed to reinforce and enhance proficiency in essential skills.

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) courses typically include both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical skills training, including simulated scenarios to prepare healthcare providers for real-life situations involving pediatric patients. These courses are often required for healthcare professionals who work in settings where they may encounter pediatric emergencies, such as pediatric wards, emergency departments, or critical care units. It's essential to stay up-to-date with PALS certification to ensure that healthcare providers can respond effectively to pediatric medical emergencies.

*Available in traditional or hybrid format classes

Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) courses improve the quality of trauma care and decrease mortality. The program is based on a philosophy stressing the treatment of the multi-system trauma patient as a unique entity with specific needs. PHTLS promotes critical thinking as the foundation for providing quality care. It is based on the belief that, given a good fundamental knowledge and key principles, EMS practitioners are capable of making reasoned decisions regarding patient care.

This course content encompasses two main components: the process for becoming an AHA Instructor and the stages of the instruction cycle, which include Prepare, Teach, Test & Remediate, Close, and Keep Current. This comprehensive training includes fundamental guidance on instructing AHA BLS Provider courses, along with information tailored to the specific course being taught. It's important to note that students seeking instructor certification must currently work within the discipline they intend to teach.

Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS) is a class that remains the gold standard of education for emergency medical assessment and treatment. Endorsed by the National Association of EMS Physicians, AMLS emphasizes the use of the AMLS Assessment Pathway, a systematic tool for assessing and managing common medical conditions with urgent accuracy.

The GEMS course helps EMS practitioners learn to conduct a comprehensive assessment of geriatric patients. Be­cause the aging process affects all body systems, NAEMT’s course provides an overview of changes that occur as people age and describes how those changes can impact patient pre­sentation. Incorporation of the GEMS Diamond (Geriatric, Environmental, Medical, and Social assessments) can help practitioners formulate a holistic diagnostic and treatment approach.

The All-Hazards Disaster Response (AHDR) course provides students with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively respond to a wide range of disaster scenarios, encompassing natural disasters, infrastructure failures, fires, radiological events, pandemics, active shooter incidents, and other mass casualty events. AHDR equips participants with the ability to analyze potential threats in their local area, evaluate the resources at their disposal, and formulate a response plan aimed at preserving lives.

Key elements of a medical response plan covered in this course include:

1. Efficient Communication during Disasters.

2. Collaboration through Mutual Aid and Interoperability.

3. Resource Management, including supplies, medications, and equipment.

4. Triage and strategies for transportation with associated challenges.

5. Patient Tracking and the procedures for evacuation.
