Combo Courses (PALS, ACLS, and BLS) given at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center are sponsored by the American Heart Association. CCHMC uses a hybrid learning model. The first part of the program inlcudes eLearning, online scenarios and a written test. The second part takes place in person at the Center for Simulation and Research for active participation. This part of the program focuses on small group teaching, high fidelity simulation, skills, team work, debriefing, and testing specific to AHA fundamentals.
The Combo Course is located at the Center for Simulation and Research on the Oak Campus.
Registration is open to physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, paramedics, and other healthcare providers whose occupation directs or participates in the management of medical emergencies.
We offer 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 and Research on the Oak Campus.
The online module instructions, PALS and ACLS algorithm pocket cards, and access keys will be automatically included in your 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.
