American Heart Association (AHA) Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) COURSES
LCMC Health Clinical Education and Professional Development offers BLS,
ACLS, and PALS Provider courses.
Basic Life Support for Healthcare Provider (BLS Provider):
The goal of the Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers Course
is to prepare healthcare professionals to respond effectively to cardiac
arrest and other life-threatening emergencies. Participants will develop
the skills needed to promptly recognize cardiac arrest, perform high-quality
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), provide effective ventilations, and
use an automated external defibrillator (AED). The course emphasizes effective
individual and team-based response in both in-hospital and out-of-hospital settings.

Course Calendar and select the course that best meets your learning needs and schedule.

Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS):
The goal of the Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Provider Course is
to improve outcomes for adult patients with cardiac arrest and other cardiopulmonary
emergencies through provider training. The ACLS Provider course is designed
for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the management
of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies. Through
didactic instruction and active participation in simulated cases, the
students will enhance skills and clinical decision-making abilities for
the diagnosis and treatment of cardiopulmonary arrest, acute arrhythmia,
stroke, and acute coronary syndromes.

Course Calendar on the left side of the page and select the course that best meets your
learning needs and schedule.

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS):
The goal of the Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Course is to improve
the quality of care to seriously ill or injured children, resulting in
improved outcomes. In the PALS course, students will reinforce and enhance
their skills in the treatment of pediatric arrest and peri arrest patients
through active participation in a series of simulated pediatric emergencies.
These simulations are designed to reinforce the important concepts of
a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, PALS
treatment algorithms, and effective team resuscitation dynamics.
