The eACLS™ course
was developed by Jones and Bartlett Publishers in partnership
with the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), a
leader in emergency medicine education and health education.
eACLS™ 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.
You can print these out and even email them to your course
coordinator so that he or she can keep an electronic copy in
your personnel file. Now you are ready to complete your
required short "skills only" portion of the course through our
Training Center.
The Online ACLS
course can be completed in as few as 4 hours; however
you may take up to 45 days. The "skills only" portion is
estimated at 1-2 hours. Students must travel to our
