The AHA’s BLS Course trains participants to promptly recognize several life-threatening emergencies, give high-quality chest compressions, deliver appropriate ventilations and provide early use of an AED. This course reflects science and education from the American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC). This course is for both Initial Certification and Renewals.

The AHA’s ACLS course builds on the foundation of lifesaving BLS skills, emphasizing the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR. Reflects science and education from the American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC). ACLS is for healthcare professionals who either direct or participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest or other cardiovascular emergencies and for personnel in emergency response.

The ACLS course teaches:

  • Basic life support skills, including effective chest compressions, use of a bag-mask device, and use of an AED
  • Recognition and early management of respiratory and cardiac arrest
  • Recognition and early management of peri-arrest conditions such as symptomatic bradycardia
  • Airway management
  • Related pharmacology
  • Management of ACS and stroke
  • Effective communication as a member and leader of a resuscitation team

This week-long intensive immersion course provides participants theory and hands-on training with leading-edge simulation skills using state-of-the-art computerized manikins (Human Patient Simulators, or HPS) and patient actors, also known as standardized patients (SP).
Programming covers a broad spectrum — from design and implementation of scenarios to setting up and running a simulation center. Participants completing the week-long course will earn a Drexel University "Certificate in Simulation."

This program will provide the essential information a nurse educator would need to incorporate simulation in a curriculum or a clinical setting. Simulation techniques for both the Human Patient Simulator and Standardized Patients will be presented. Debriefing techniques and moulage are also included.

This half day hands on program will cover:
---The basics of moulage & building reality
---Manikins and Makeup: Moulage for Human Patient Simulator (HPS)
---Actors to Makeup: Moulage for Standardized Patients (SP)
---FX Basics: Creating Your Own Reality
---Clean up and Restoration

The Drexel University Continuing Nursing Education "Academic Fast Track" program contains all essential information the new academic educator needs to know.

The two-day intensive program offers insightful discussions about key aspects and expectations of the academic educator role from leaders in the field of nursing. This program will provide comprehensive education for educators working in an academic faculty role or those interested in a future academic faculty role.

Immersion in Simulation
This program will provide the essential information a nurse educator needs to incorporate simulation into the academic curriculum or healthcare setting. Simulation case development and implementation techniques for both the Human Patient Simulator and Standardized Patients will be presented. Debriefing techniques and moulage are also included.

The Certificate in Nursing Education/Health Professions Education program provides an overview of essentials for academic faculty. The two-day program offers insightful discussion about key aspects of the academic educator role from leaders in the field. The program will provide comprehensive education for the academic faculty role or those interested in a future academic faculty role.

The theoretical and practical realms of various simulation techniques are presented as well as a review of the competencies for educators working in simulation. Strategies and challenges with simulation will also be presented.

Drexel Physician Assistant Board Review On Demand invites PA’s preparing for recertification, as well as recent graduates, the preparation needed for Physician Assistant National Recertification Examination and the overall improvement of medical knowledge recall.
