As per PGME's ACLS Policy, with the exception of pediatric residents, Heart and Stroke certification in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is required before beginning residency.

If you are currently certified in ACLS (dated within 2 years), please forward a copy of your certification card to pgmeassistant@med.mun.ca.

For incoming learners without certification, for a fee, Eastern Health offers an ACLS course for new residents. It is a 2-day blended learning course, the didactic is completed prior to attending the in-person portion. The Day 2 is offered on two dates; either June 24, or on June 25.

Once finalized, all information, including the registration form, will be posted below. 

Note, registration will be limited and will therefore be on a "first come, first serve" basis; we strongly encourage all learners to obtain certification in advance if it is offered by your home medical school.
