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.

HeartCode BLS

Basic Life Support (BLS) courses given by Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) are sponsored by the American Heart Association. These course train participants to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilations, and provide early use of an AED.

**HeartCode BLS - Liberty Campus Course are for 

CCHMC Physicians and Liberty Staff ONLY**

 **For those that don't meet this criteria your primary department will be charged $30.00 for the Heartcode.**

HeartCode BLS is a hybrid learning model. Majority of the learning is a self-directed online module, through the American Heart Association website, and can be accessed by logging in from any computer.

The learner may stop and start learning at their discretion.  Estimated time to complete computer module is one hour. The learner then attends the skills testing portion at the scheduled location and time with an AHA instructor for BLS completion.  Within 24 hours and passing all BLS portions, and electronic provider card will be issued to the email used in registration.

Advisor: BLS is to accommodate students who cannot perform the physical skills of CPR.  The learner will complete the cognitive portion (assigned upon registration self-directed online module).  Then attend the skills session and advise others how to perform CPR and use an AED.  Upon successful completion of both portions, an electronic provider card will be issued to the email used in registration within 24 hours. If you are needing Advisor BLS, please select "Yes" to this question when registering for a Heartcode BLS course.

If you have any questions or need to reschedule, please contact the Simulation Center at simulationcenter@cchmc.org.

The Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) courses given by Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center present information and skills training needed for the management of serious cardiac emergencies and arrest in the adult patient.  Small group teaching is empahsized, and use of the human patient simulator is included.

Registrants must be healthcare professional whose occupation requires managing the pediatric patient.

We offer 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.

Note: There is no longer a distinction between the initial ACLS certification and the renewal course.

The online module instructions ACLS algorithm pocket card, and access key will be emailed to participants upon registration in the confirmation email.  All pre-course work is done online through the American Heart Association website and can be accessed by logging in from any computer.
