PALS, ACLS Combo Course (BLS is optional with this course)
The Combo course consists of PALS and ACLS.
BLS is "optional" with Combo courses only. If you choose "Yes" to the BLS online keycode, the BLS module MUST be completed and cannot be opted out after your registration has been submitted.
Combo Courses (PALS, ACLS, and BLS) 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.
Registrants must be a healthcare professional whose occupation requires managing the pediatric patient.
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.
Basic Life Support (BLS) HeartCode BLS course concentrates on basic life support for infant, child, and adult using a self-directed online portion coupled with a hands on session and skills testing.
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.
Note: There is no longer a distinction between the initial PALS or ACLS certification and the renewal course.
Contact the Simulation Center for all reschedules. Do not re-register for a course. Re-registering will result in the learner receiving an additional HeartCode and incurring a fee. Any questions please contact simulationcenter@cchmc.org.
