Improving Confidence in ACLS among UMKC Internal Medicine Residents

"The American Board of Internal Medicine requires all residents to have their certification in basic life support (BLS) and advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) renewed every two years. However, there is concern that residents do not retain the confidence and the medical knowledge gained during this course throughout the two years that follow. The goal of our quality improvement project was to add a training workshop to improve resident confidence in performing ACLS."Ray Segebrecht, Anweshan Samanta, Laith Derbas, Alison Scharber, Ahmed Elkaryoni, Annapoorna Singh, Rahul Myadam, Adnan Choudhury, David Wooldridge, Ashraf Gohar, and Julie Banderas (Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Missouri-Kansas City)Includes bibliographical reference
