The UNMC Center for Continuing Education is a recognized American Heart Association (AHA) Training Center.
We maintain an Emergency Cardiac Care Training Network for instructors of Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). We serve as a liaison to the AHA by implementing Emergency Cardiac Care science and education in the community. We keep an instructor database, perform quality assurance activities, and act as a resource for AHA instructors.
