The “Full Program” is designed to prepare the learner for the ELSO Adult ECMO Certification Exam. Following completion of the course, it is the learner’s responsibility to ensure they have sufficient bedside ECMO monitoring hours for eligibility to sit for the ELSO Adult ECMO Specialist exam. The “Full Program” is limited to 16 participants. Participants are required to be present and visible, via the participants’ webcam through Zoom. Learners are required to participate in post-lecture discussions.

Full Program participants must sign up and attend both sections (didactic and simulation) at the scheduled time. Participants are required to actively participate and pass a written post-program exam to be eligible to receive a certificate of course completion. The passing score is 80%. The exam is given at the end of the simulation sessions and will cover the didactic and simulation sections.

It is required to attend the simulation portion of the course that is associated with the didactic portion when you register. Date substitutions are not permitted. “Please see schedule for details”.

Once 16 participants have registered, the course will be closed. You may add your email to our waitlist to be first in line for notification of our next scheduled course. Please see “this link” for the current number of open positions available.

Refund policy: No refunds will be processed except for verified emergencies and will be at the discretion of the course organizers.

This program is approved for 38.8 Category 1 CEU by the ABCP.
