ABOUT US
We're leaders in education:
- We have received numerous academic awards for teaching excellence.
- For ACLS and PALS we are recognized by the Heart & Stroke Foundation as a model for others to follow. Our medical director is Chair of the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Ontario's ACLS Advisory Committee. ACLS and PALS certification is recognized world-wide.
- For ATLS, we provide all courses under the governing body American College of Surgeons, and ATLS certification is recognized world-wide.
- We have used simulators in all courses since the program began over 17 years ago.
We meet the highest standards:
- 100 per cent of our course instructors and directors are fully certified in ACLS, PALS and ATLS. We are very proud of our interdisciplinary approach to team training and provision of cardiac arrest care that we started a decade ago.
- Course directors must go through series of steps to attain this position, including the instruction of a minimum 15 to 20 courses and above average evaluations before being considered as a director.
- A medical director is present at all courses.
- Instructor to participant ratio is one to six for ACLS and PALS, and one to four for ATLS.
- We provide catered meals at all our courses, including the full weekend and shorter recertification courses.
- Courses are eligible for the standard financial supports as provided by the University of Toronto medical education department for its postgraduate trainees.
