EMS Education at Parkview
In 2010, Parkview Adventist Medical Center offers re-certification for healthcare providers in Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS OR CPR), plus beginner and refresher courses in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).
These courses are offered frequently throughout the year and are held at the Topsham Medical Office, 4 Horton Place, Topsham.
You may register for an online BLS certification course at www.onlineaha.org.
If you opt for the online course, you will need to purchase a key code. The cost is $17.50 for a key code at www.onlineaha.org, using a credit card.
At www.onlineaha.org, there is a link on the left side of the home page under "Healthcare" for BLS. You will need to select "BLS for Healthcare Providers Online part 1" with the product code #80-1055.
The online course is the equivalent of the video that you would watch during a regular course. After the presentation, you will take a quiz. If you pass the quiz, you will be prompted to print a certificate of completion.
Please bring this certificate to a Certified AHA instructor for a skills session.
If you have any questions or need help with anything, please call Parkview HR at 207.373.2289 or fax HR at 207.373.2188.
