The Center for Simulation and Research at Cincinnati Children’s was the first pediatric simulation center in the United States. We provide innovative simulation-based programs to enhance patient safety and promote experiential learning for all members of the healthcare team.
The Advanced Cardiac Life Support Courses (ACLS) given by Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center present information and skills training needed for the management of serious cardiac emergencies and arrest in the adult patient. Small group teaching is emphasized, and use of the human patient simulator is included.

The online module and access key are emailed to paid course registrants immediately upon registration. Participants are required to bring documentation of completing this online module to participate in the skills testing portion and to receive the ACLS certification card.
