Advanced Hazmat Life Support (AHLS) Courses

 

 

AHLS is offered in collaboration with the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology (AACT), and was developed by the Arizona Emergency Medicine Research Center (AEMRC), a Center of Excellence at The University of Arizona College of Medicine.

 

Each course involves a board-certified toxicologist and physician and is taught by AHLS verified Instructors. The AHLS program also trains medical personnel to become AHLS Instructors who bring the course to their region.

 

The Provider course includes small-group interactive case studies. The Provider and Instructor courses conclude with verification exams, and provide a four-year verification status with an 80% or higher score on the exam.

 

Join the more 8,000 physicians, nurses, paramedics, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals and become an AHLS verified provider to be ready to face the medical challenges of hazmat incidents, such as chemical spills or toxic terrorism.  Continuing Education credits are available to AHLS participants through ACCME, ACPEACEP and CECBEMS
