Review the chart on the Required Certifications page to determine if BLS is required for your program. You must arrive at orientation with proof of valid BLS certification. Failure to do so may delay your training program start date.
The BLS course must be American Heart Association compliant. Below is one resource provided by a UB-affiliated hospital. You may access additional resources as long as they are AHA-compliant and completed in person. Online-only courses are not accepted.
For BLS Only:
Cost for BLS Course only: $35 (no book fee). Cash or checks made out to Buffalo CPR and mailed to ECMC, 462 Grider Street, Buffalo, NY 14215.
Reimbursement for BLS is not available.
However, if you take a combined BLS/ACLS course AND are an incoming PGY1 resident, you may submit for reimbursement.
Combined BLS/ACLS recertification courses for all other PGY levels can be submitted via the Resident and Fellow Education and Professional Development Fund.
