Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Renewal

ACLS is for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, whether in or out of a hospital. Through the ACLS course, providers will enhance their skills in the treatment of the adult victim of a cardiac arrest or other cardiopulmonary emergencies.

The Provider course is held over a two day period. It is intended for students who do not currently hold an ACLS card or who have let their card lapse. It is required that students attend both days of class.

The Renewal course is intended for students who have a current ACLS card. An ACLS card is considered current through the last day of the month as listed under expiration date (on the front of your card).

During the ACLS class, students will be responsible for understanding and completing the following ten core modules:

  • Respiratory Arrest
  • VF Treated with CPR & AED
  • VF/Pulseless VT

The current version of the ACLS Provider textbook being used was copyrighted in 2006. It contains 2005 CPR ECC Guidelines. We anticipate that AHA will release a new version of the ACLS Provider textbook in 2011.
