You've heard that pharmacists on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation team save lives.
Maybe you've even read the data:
Every year, pharmacists who respond to inpatient medical emergencies are responsible for saving at least 12,880 lives (Bond 2007, p=0.009).
But they don't teach this stuff in Pharmacy School...
The feeling of walking into an emergency situation is nerve-wracking if you've never be taught how to help the team in this scenario.
ECG recognition skills are needed to pass ACLS, and they aren't taught in the ACLS class.
Physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists are already on the resuscitation team, but how does a pharmacist fit in?
What if you could arrive at a code blue or rapid response call confident in your role and ability to provide for the pharmacotherapy needs of a crashing patient?
That's why I've created this CE program: Inpatient Emergency Response Training for Pharmacists
I'm Pharmacy Joe, a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist, ICU clinical pharmacist, author of A Pharmacist's Guide to Inpatient Medical Emergencies and host of The Elective Rotation - A Critical Care Hospital Pharmacy Podcast.
Teaching other pharmacists how to respond to code blue and rapid response calls is a passion of mine. Ever since I’ve seen the impact a pharmacist brings to these patient care scenarios I've been hooked on showing other pharmacists how to do it.
Through this 17 module program, you'll develop the confidence and skills necessary to respond to code blue and rapid response calls.
You'll also be completely prepared to pass the healthcare provider BLS and ACLS classes.
This program is ACPE accredited for 6 hours of continuing education by Wegman's School of Pharmacy.
