HeartCode® ACLS (Online + Hands-On)

HeartCode® ACLS is a self-directed, blended learning course (online portion, followed by hands-on session) that uses eSimulation technology to allow students to assess and treat patients in virtual healthcare settings.

After registering and paying, students will be e-mailed a unique link within one to three business days (Mon-Fri) to enter the online portion of the course, which consists of a self-assessment followed by a team dynamics lesson and 10 in-hospital patient cases, including a BLS case and two megacode cases. Upon successful completion of all the patient cases, students must pass the written exam with a score of 84%, then schedule a hands-on practice session with Medstar for full course completion. We are currently scheduling hands-on sessions 3 to 5 business days out.

Course Duration: The online portion can be completed in 7 hours, depending on the student’s level of experience. The hands-on session can take up to 5 hours.
