Course description
While basic life support is a requirement for vaccination certification, Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is frequently only taught for those in the hospital setting. However, any healthcare provider can be in a situation where a Code Blue happens and increased understanding of the entire process (beyond basic life support) can significantly enhance a pharmacist’s ability to integrate with the interprofessional team that will care for this patient.

Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
