The Combo course consists of PALS and ACLS.
This Combo Course is intended for participants who have previously completed and passed the separate PALS and ACLS class. This is not recommended for participants who are new to PALS or ACLS certification. However, this is ultimately up to the partificipant and their department.
Combo Courses (PALS and ACLS) given at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) are sponsored by the American Heart Association. CCHMC offers PALS and ACLS using a hybrid learning model. The majority of the learning is a self-directed online module. The skills portion will build on core concepts based on the AHA fundamentals, followed by skills testing at the Center for Simulation & Research in the Vernon Place Building.The learner may stop and start the online modules at their discretion. Estimated time to complete each online module is about 4-6 hours. The learner then attends the skills testing portion at the scheduled location and time. Within 24 hours of passing, an electronic provider card will be issued to the email used in registration.
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Provider Course is designed for healthcare providers to manage respiratory and/or cardiovascular emergencies in pediatric patients.
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Provider Course is designed for healthcare providers to manage cardiopulmonary arrest and other cardiac emergencies in adult patients.
If you have any questions or need to reschedule, please contact the Simulation Center at simulationcenter@cchmc.org.
For CCHMC employees, please use your CCHMC email address when registering.
Participants can register up to 6 months prior from their expiration date. If a CCHMC participant would like to renew earlier than this, please reach out to the Simulation Center. Departments will be charged for early renewals.
