American Heart Association Courses

Classes are provided for both UNC Hospitals and outside healthcare professionals from a variety of disciplines and practice settings, including physicians, nurses, dentists, NPs, PAs, respiratory therapists, pharmacists and paramedics.  These courses are coordinated by Nursing Professional Development, Practice and Research (NPDPR).  Since AHA focuses on interdisciplinary care of the peri-arrest and acute arrest patient, we strive to have participants and instructors from a variety of healthcare professions at each class.
