ASLS Certification for Healthcare Providers

 

This course is intended for healthcare providers who care for patients with stroke or work in settings with patients who are at risk for stroke. This course meets the education requirements for Stroke Center Certification.

At Health Care Learning Center, our Advanced Stroke Life Support (ASLS) certification Program equips professionals with proven techniques and real-world practice. This nationally recognized training ensures you’re prepared to act with confidence and precision in the moments that matter most.

What You’ll Learn

The ASLS course is now offered in a Blended Learning format, consisting of both an online, self-directed portion, followed by an in-person skills testing session with an ASLS Instructor.

There are 3 tracks available for students to learn how to assess and manage stroke emergencies: prehospital, in-hospital, and a third track that covers both settings

Prehospital Provider Course

  • Highlights the principles of prehospital stroke management that make up the current standard of care, such as determining when to call a stroke alert and quickly transport the patient to the nearest appropriate facility.
  • Explains how to communicate the patient’s symptoms, time of onset, and neuro-logic exam clearly and succinctly with hospital personnel

In-Hospital Provider Course

  • Focuses on the importance of an organized approach to treating stroke patients for improved outcomes.
  • Discusses the etiologic evaluation and secondary stroke prevention for stroke patients. Describes the management of goals for acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage
  • Outlines post-acute care management including supportive medical care, rehabilitation, and discharge planning for stroke patients

Prehospital & In-Hospital Provider Course

  • Combines all of the components of the Prehospital and In-Hospital courses, and is best suited for healthcare providers who work in both environments, as well as ASLS instructor candidates that will be conducting the in-person skills testing for learners from both audiences
