narcan Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 My work is offering it for free, but it's a day of my life, and it's not soon enough to avoid having to take the regular ACLS recert. Anyone take it and have thoughts, opinions or commentary on its value? Here's the AHA blurb for anyone who's interested: http://cpr.heart.org/AHAECC/CPRAndECC/Training/HealthcareProfessional/AdvancedCardiovascularLifeSupportACLS/UCM_473187_ACLS-for-EP.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbum Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I took an EP class that my employer offered a couple of years ago. I preferred it to the traditional recert for that purpose, but it sounds like you'll have already re-certified by the time the class comes around. In your shoes, I don't think I'd take it again. For anyone who uses ACLS with any frequency, there's only so much to be gained from sitting around and talking about it for a few hours.

jwells78 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Took it a few years ago. I thought it was cool because instead of watching a video and running a mega-code, there is a lot more theory and evidence-based discussion. Definitely worth it as a recert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
