Get Heart & Stroke certification — on your schedule

Our PCN is offering members the opportunity to complete eligible Heart & Stroke certifications and apply for reimbursement for their efforts.

To provide members with greater flexibility and more development opportunities, eligible life-support courses can be completed anytime between Monday, April 7 and Friday, Aug. 29:

• Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) taken in Alberta are eligible for reimbursement.
• Members can register for reimbursement and then — upon receiving confirmation of funding — register for a course on a date of their choosing between Monday, April 7 and Friday, Aug. 29.
• Heart & Stroke offers many dates to choose from for blended and in-person courses in Alberta.
• Spots are limited, so apply for reimbursement before they’re gone.

All members can sign up for reimbursement, but the funding is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. It is unavailable if you have been or will be paid by another source for the course, or if the course is completed after Friday, Aug. 29.
