Course Description:
With a busy schedule, it can be difficult to carve out two or three days to attend CPR training for dentists. However, this unique, timesaving Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification program presented by DOCS Education allows you to accelerate your learning with relevant pre-course video modules and a single, hands-on training session.
You will earn 12 CE credit hours and an American Heart Association (AHA) Advanced Cardiac Life Support card, good for two years after successful completion of the pre-course instruction and the one-day, in-person training.
This ACLS certification course is taught by AHA-certified instructors.
Upon completion of this course, you will meet the following objectives:
- Successful passing of the final AHA ACLS Provider exam*
- Emergency response training that is designed for a dental office setting
- Learn vital medical knowledge and applications to save a patient’s life
- Create a crisis management plan that uses equipment commonly found in dental offices
- Receive practical training to handle common emergency scenarios
- Review the critical skills needed to respond to respiratory failure, airway obstruction, cardiac problems, and anaphylaxis
- Use high-fidelity patient simulators to get practical experience for real-life emergencies
*Pre-course material assures your competency before attending the hands-on component. In the unlikely event you do not pass the test, DOCS Education faculty will provide one-on-one remedial training until you are successful.
Get your ACLS card in three easy steps:
Step 1: Watch the pre-course videos and take the quizzes at the end of each short module
Step 2: Take the AHA ACLS Precourse Self-Assessment test
Step 3: Attend the one-day hands-on training with DOCS Education's ACLS faculty
Who Should Take this Course?
Often required by State Boards for sedation permits, this ACLS course will deliver confidence in your ability to handle medical emergencies in your office. While you may never be called upon to save a patient's life, you'll rest easier knowing that you and your team have an effective emergency plan and all the tools needed to respond to a patient in crisis.
