American Heart Association

American Heart AssociationWhat is it?

CLIMB offers a wide variety of American Heart Association (AHA) and cardiology-focused continuing education courses for health care professionals. These courses can be used to refresh your knowledge in a particular area, introduce you to new skills, or fulfill continuing education units (CEUs) that may be required as part of your profession.

Please note: the AHA strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in BLS, ACLS, and PALS and has developed instructional materials for this purpose. Use of these materials in an educational course does not represent course sponsorship by the AHA, and any fees charged for such a course do not represent income to the Association.

Is it right for you?

Whether you are interested in updating your skills or learning something new, one of the AHA or cardiology courses offered by CLIMB is bound to be right for you.
