ACLS CERTIFICATION
Rev 7/2022
ACLS/BLS/PALS CERTIFICATION / RECERTIFICATION
All residents/fellows entering any graduate medical education program sponsored by UTHSC must obtain
Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification prior to or within 30
days of beginning training at UT and must maintain certification throughout the entirety of their training.
Individual programs may have additional life support certification requirements. ACLS certification must
be through the American Heart Association. Note: Pediatrics and Pediatric Subspecialties may obtain
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) in lieu of ACLS.
Residents not obtaining certification after 30 days of employment will be placed on leave without pay and
removed from training program until certification is completed. If within the 30 days of leave without pay
the resident has not achieved ACLS certification the resident may be terminated. The University must be
provided with a copy of current ACLS cards for inclusion in residents¡¯ files. Certification dates will be
entered by the Program Coordinator in each trainee¡¯s New Innovations personnel profile. The resident¡¯s
ACLS/BLS card should be uploaded into New Innovations.
ACLS certification is available at no cost to residents via the HeartCode? computerized modules. Upon
receiving the names of residents accepted into UT programs, new residents will be provided codes to access
the on-line modules. All modules, with the exception of the skills testing, can be completed online prior to
the start of training. Residents may also complete the skills component prior to the start date of their training
by calling the Simulation Center to schedule the skills component.
Recertification:
All residents must maintain certification. Residents not achieving recertification within 30 days following
their ACLS expiration will be placed on leave without pay during which time they may attempt to achieve
recertification. If within the 30 days on leave without pay the resident has not achieved ACLS recertification
the resident may be terminated. Following completion of a recertification course, the resident is responsible
for providing the university with a copy of his or her new ACLS card. Note: you must recertify your BLS
before you will be able to recertify your ACLS.
