• Identification and management of peri-arrest conditions (e.g., symptomatic bradycardia)

• Airway management and related pharmacology

• Care for acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and stroke

• Effective communication and team leadership during resuscitation

• Resuscitation team dynamics

✅ Upon successful completion of all course components (skills testing, Megacode, and written exam), you will receive a two-year ACLS Provider e-card.
