What is the BLS course?
The on-line BLS HealthCare Provider Renewal Course allows the student to complete all but the skills assessment on the computer. When followed by the brief, hands-on skills evaluation session with an AHA BLS Instructor, participants earn the AHA BLS Healthcare Provider card. This course recognizes that healthcare providers have knowledge and skills acquired from years of patient care and prior CPR training. The greatest challenge in retraining healthcare providers lies not in skills acquisition, but in the cognitive component of memorizing the sequence of steps for multiple scenarios, which reinforces rapid recall of the sequences during emergency situations.
