The American Red Cross’s Training Services portfolio prepares healthcare professionals to respond when moments matter.  Our approach to resuscitation and critical care education is focused on the interprofessional healthcare team, which includes nurses, physicians, and paramedics to name a few.  Interprofessional continuing education (IPCE) is when members from two or more professions learn with, from, and about each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes (Joint Accreditation, 2024).  

The Red Cross Continuing Education Program is proud to provide accredited CE credit for these programs based on up-to-date evidence-based guidelines to optimize outcomes of patients.  

To receive continuing education credit in Resuscitation and Critical Care courses, please Claim CE within 45 days of course completion.
