CAR Advanced Cardiac Life Support for Radiologists (ACLS-r)
Location:
Le Centre SheratonMontreal, Quebec
Canada
Event Details:
ACLS-r is a unique and highly sought-after simulation workshop offering radiologists the opportunity to improve their practical skills when dealing with patients who suffer cardiac or cardiopulmonary arrest in a radiology setting.
Designed by radiologists for radiologists, this course specifically targets the needs of practitioners with respect to ACLS management and teaches the skills necessary to provide crucial care to patients in life-threatening situations.
Workshop participants put what they have learned into practice right away using high-tech specialized mannequins. Sessions are led by accredited instructors in small groups of eight or less, allowing for plenty of hands-on practice and individual instruction time.
New for 2016 are workshop and simulation sessions focusing on sedation, its potential complications and critical emergency responses for optimal results.
ACLS-r takes place at Le Centre Sheraton Montreal on the evening of April 12 and at the state-of-the-art simulation-based training centre located at the Université de Montréal throughout the day on April 13.
The course is offered in English and in French. Participants who successfully complete this course receive ACLS certification in accordance to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Radiologists are the specific target audience for this activity. The ACLS course for radiologists is developed as a result of the CAR membership’s request, via previous event survey responses.
Registration closes March 10.
