ECG & Pharmacology course

6 Hours (Approx.)

Ready to enhance your ECG & Pharmacology skills? Specifically designed to address key knowledge gaps in Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Pharmacology, the ECG and Pharmacology course focus on critical ECG recognition skills and drug treatment knowledge. These gaps have been identified as significant hurdles for ACLS students. Without strong competency in ECG recognition or drug treatment knowledge related to the ACLS algorithms, achieving ACLS certification can be challenging. These courses, therefore, have been redesigned as self-directed eLearning modules to address these gaps and serve as precourse options for ACLS students needing to improve in these areas.

Course Details
