All AHA courses offered by the Center for Simulation and Research utilize a hybrid learning model. Upon registration, learners will be provided a keycode(s) for an online module that will take approximately 8-12 hours to complete (multiple keycodes for Combo Course). Learners will also attend a skills testing class where small groups are assessed on technical and non-technical skills through high-fidelity simulation. Skills testing classes are offered in the sim lab, on the 3rd floor of the Vernon Place Building.
