Introduction

Michigan Medicine AHA Training Center will be using the HeartCode BLENDED learning format. This blended learning format includes an online self-directed, comprehensive eLearning program and in person Hands-on Testing Session.

To complete these requirements, learners will need to complete one of the following curricula in Cornerstone:

• CSCD-C10001 ACLS Provider Certification and Recertification
• CSCD-C10005 Pediatric Advanced Cardiac Support (PALS) Certification or Recertification

Please visit The Clinical Simulation Center to learn more about the ACLS and PALS Educational offerings

To add or remove the ACLS or PALS assignment from your Cornerstone Transcript you will need to update the "Select any of the certifications below that are required for your role or by your unit" question response on the User Profile Questionnaire. (checking the box for ACLS or PALS will add the assignment, leaving blank or removing the checkmark will remove the assignment).

Step by step Instructions for updating the User Profile Questionnaire can be found at Completing Your User Profile Questionnaire

For Providers and Advanced Practice Practitioners, If any of these certifications are required for your role please select the appropriate certification so you will receive the assignment, otherwise leave these unchecked.

STEP 1: Register for an ACLS/PALS session

Click Register, then Launch to go to the CSC website to register for the Hands-On in person testing session.

Once MM AHA has processed your registration, you will receive an email from CSC-Registration with your confirmation and directions on how to complete HeartCode.

STEP 2: After attending the session, the MM AHA team will update the required section of the curricula in Cornerstone which will complete your certification.

If you have completed the ACLS or PALS training at Michigan Medicine but it is not on your Cornerstone Completed Transcript, please contact:

NOTE: If you complete ACLS or PALS training outside of Michigan Medicine, you will need to provide your new ACLS/PALS card to your Cornerstone Department Facilitator in order to have them mark this complete for you in Cornerstone. The MM AHA team is not able to do this on your behalf.
