Medical Courses

MedTrain is an official American Heart Association Training Site, offering the most common AHA programs required by the medical industry and its professionals.

We offer Renewal and Initial ACLS, BLS and PALS courses regularly at our facility. Please check our Course Calendar for our schedule.

MedTrain also specializes in Basic CPR/First Aid courses for the Educational Community (Daycares, Schools, Sports Teams, etc.) as well as for general public education (churches, family environments, etc.) following all American Heart Association guidelines. In addition to AHA Courses, we also do private Medical Office OSHA/Bloodborne Pathogens Audit and Training, HIPAA Courses for Medical Facilities and EKG Basic Training.

Should our course schedule not compliment your work schedule, please note that you may do the cognitive portion of the course online, at your own leisure, and then come to our location for your hands-on skills test and to obtain your official American Heart Association ACLS, BLS and/or PALS Healthcare Provider card(s).
