HeartCode Skills

overview

AHA Heart­Code courses use a vari­ety of eLearn­ing assets such as drama­ti­za­tions, eSim­u­la­tions, anima­tions, self-directed learn­ing, and inter­ac­tive activ­i­ties to teach students knowl­edge and skills. After complet­ing the online portion, students attend a struc­tured Heart­Code hands-on session, the Heart­Code Skills Course, with an AHA Instruc­tor. This session focuses on mean­ing­ful skills prac­tice, debrief­ing, team scenar­ios, discus­sions of local proto­cols, and skills testing.
