Course Description: ACLS for Experienced Providers Course by Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada goes beyond the core ACLS training by offering critical thinking opportunities for those advanced, experienced, healthcare professionals who use ACLS on a regular basis. The goal of ACLS EP is to improve outcomes in complex cardiovascular, respiratory, and other (e.g., metabolic, toxicologic) emergencies by expanding on core ACLS guidelines and encouraging critical thinking and decision-making strategies. Through cooperative learning and active participation in case-based scenarios, learners enhance their skills in the differential diagnosis and treatment of prearrest, arrest and post arrest patients. ACLS EP builds on skills and knowledge gained through previous ACLS Provider and/or ACLS Provider Renewal courses and real-world experience to deliver an upgraded certification. Designed for healthcare providers who are regularly called on to manage complex cardiovascular, respiratory, and other emergencies, the course emphasizes critical thinking and decision-making. Learners will actively work through scenarios and, with the option of more than 60 case studies, will apply their ACLS knowledge on relevant and challenging topics.

Intended Audience: ACLS EP Course is designed for those who are proficient in performing BLS and ACLS skills, reading and interpreting ECGs, understanding ACLS pharmacology; and who regularly lead or participate in emergency assessment and treatment of prearrest, arrest, or post arrest patients. This includes personnel in emergency medicine, intensive care, and critical care units such as physicians, nurses, and advanced care paramedics, as well as others who care for high acuity patients from cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies.
