 ACLS/PALS COURSE INFORMATION

The ACLS/PALS course is recommended for Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics, Dentists, and medical personnel including but not limited to those who work in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care units as well as critical care units.

What makes the whole situation even better is the issuance of certification cards thru email or text, the e-cards replaced the paper cards.  Certification cards can be emailed or accessed thru text and printed out or sent to their employer or whoever needs ACLS CERTIFICATION verification. Another feature added to the e-card process is the ability for employers to verify ACLS or BLS certification just by going to the e-card verification website.
