Re: ACLS, ATLS TheOne - 02-08-08 14:13 ACLS & PALS shows on your ERAS application, it's a good idea to take both courses and tick the boxes that says "I'm ACLS or PALS certified".
You need to attend courses, so check the availabilty of one near you.

They are easy courses, no need for an overwhilming preparation, you can take it after step 3.
