Course Content

When lives are at stake, don’t settle for less. Insist on quality training from the leader in

Emergency Cardiovascular Care Programs — the American Heart Association.

americanheart.org/cpr 877-AHA-4CPR

Clinical experts agree that immediate and appropriate

management of a cardiac arrest

makes the difference between life and death.

Lesson Maps

The AHA 2006 instructor materials include lesson maps to help

you facilitate courses. The lesson maps ensure consistency

from course to course and help keep the instructor focused on

the main objectives for each

lesson. Each lesson map lists

the main components of that

lesson, including lesson number,

necessary resources, student

role, objectives, instructor role,

and reference materials.

Students will be able to continue to renew their BLS

for Healthcare Providers certifi cation by completing

part 1 online (which includes the test) and then

performing a skills check with any American Heart

Association BLS Healthcare Provider instructor.

The student can print the new certifi cate, which has

the new Guidelines logo, showing completion of part 1.

Accessing this course is easy; go to

www.onlineaha.org, or through our main

site at www.americanheart.org/cpr.

Instructor Focus

The instructor is a key element in the course. The course

structure ensures that instructors can focus their attention

on observing the students carefully, giving feedback,

and guiding students’ acquisition of skills. Although video

instruction provides the frame-

work for the BLS for Healthcare

Providers Course, the instructor

helps coach the students

and facilitates the Healthcare

Provider Course.

The AHA encourages instructors to

tailor the BLS for Healthcare Providers

Course to meet audience-specifi c

needs. For example, if instructors are

giving a course to staff at a children’s

hospital, they might want to include

extra practice time on infant manikins.

The BLS Healthcare Provider Course is video-based and is

divided into multiple lessons. Many of the lessons are in the

practice-while-watching format that allows the students to

watch the video while practicing skills on a manikin. The video

instruction shapes the course. It defi nes course content and

skills practice intervals and provides consistent instruction to

every participant in every class. This helps instructors maintain

a tight schedule

and provide

a carefully

integrated

curriculum.
