The ECG and Pharmacology (Online) course is an excellent introduction to the ACLS and PALS curriculum. The ACLS and PALS courses no longer teach ECG and Pharmacology; students must know ECG and Pharmacology before attending these courses. This is a perfect course to bring you up to speed on ECG rhythm recognition, cardiac physiology, and pharmacology dosage and administration. Even if you are a practicing medical professional or fresh out of school, this course will boost your knowledge and confidence in dealing with cardiac emergencies.
