• It was designed to address the critical skills needed by healthcare providers who regularly respond to complex cardiovascular, respiratory and other emergencies, such as physicians, and nurses in the emergency and critical care areas and paramedics in prehospital care. The audience should have a mastery of ACLS. The ACLS EP course goes beyond ACLS by giving these specialized providers more focus and information to deepen their knowledge around periarrest, arrest and post cardiac arrest care.
