Advanced Cardiac Life Support Elective

Catalog description

Building upon the knowledge obtained from basic life support training, this one-month elective course will provide the student with an extensive review of advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). The overall goal of this course is to introduce the pharmacy student to the role of a pharmacist on the resuscitation team and prepare the student for the American Heart Association (AHA) ACLS healthcare provider course. Students will be responsible for reading assignments as well as taking quizzes, successfully passing a mega-code skills check off evaluation and a final exam. The student will receive the American Heart Association (AHA) ACLS healthcare provider certification card upon successful completion of all AHA and elective requirements. This course may not be repeated.
