CALS Provider Pre Course - SA

This E-Learning is an adjunct to the CALS live certification course. It is specifically designed for the initial certification as a CSU-ALS Provider. The CSU-ALS course is designed for RNs, RTs, NPs, PAs, and MDs who wish to learn a novel, evidence-based approach to the resuscitation of postoperative heart patients. Using a format similar to Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), the live program will include didactic lectures as well as hands-on practice with emergency pacing, internal and external defibrillation, and utilization of state-of-the-art simulation.
