Certification

Each second-year resident may participate in ATLS certification as a benefit paid by the residency program using the resident’s enhancement funds. ACLS and NRP certification are a requirement for each first year resident before entering the program. Other certifications can be obtained with the use of the resident’s enhancement funds and leave.
