Would you rather have your ED staff here, or in a classroom?
When it's time to renew Advanced Cardiac Life Support status, eACLSTM is the solution.
Thank you for your interest in eACLSTM.
The eACLSTM course was developed by Jones and Bartlett Publishers in partnership with the American College of Emergency Physicians, both leaders in emergency medicine and health education.
eACLSTM is a customized course for prehospital and hospital professionals. It is comprised of ten interactive case studies focusing on serious respiratory and cardiac emergencies. A Resources section is also available to review ECGs, pharmacology, and electrical therapy at any time during the course.
- Each case study includes 5 sections that refresh and test your understanding of:
- Your Patient: Provides a description of the patient.
- Assessment: Provides refresher information on signs and symptoms; assessment tools and techniques; and ECG interpretation.
- Treatment: Provides refresher information on treatment options.
- Interactivities: Interactive exercises that are designed to teach new concepts and reinforce learning.
- Simulation: Reproduce real-life emergency situations and ask you to respond appropriately.
Once you complete all ten case studies you are eligible to take the final written exam. Upon successful completion of the written exam, you will immediately receive certificates acknowledging completion of the cognitive portion of the course and that you have earned nationally accepted continuing education credits.*
Users can access eACLSTM two ways: Online or via CD-ROM, contact Jones and Bartlett Publishers, administrators of the online course, at www.eacls.com.
Becoming a course coordinator
If you choose to conduct an eACLSTM course, you must become an eACLSTM Course Coordinator. The eACLSTM Course Coordinator is the only person authorized to issue eACLSTM Course Completion Cards. You can become an eACLSTM Course Coordinator, at no charge, if you:
- Are a physician, registered nurse, physician assistant, or paramedic. (Paramedics can only coordinate the prehospital course.)
- Have experience teaching or coordinating another nationally recognized, standardized ACLS course.
- Submit an electronic application for approval to become an eACLSTM Course Coordinator.
- Successfully complete the eACLSTM online orientation program for Course Coordinators and Instructors.
- Are knowledgeable of the most current course administrative policies.
Status as an eACLSTM Course Coordinator is valid for two years. To renew this status, you must coordinate or participate as a skills instructor for at least two eACLSTM courses within the two year active period.
