ACLS etc

[Guest guest]

With all this talk about office emergencies, I've started thinking

about certifications. I'm about to transition to my IMP (in April!)

I've maintained my ACLS certification and I need to renew. Of course,

there may be good patient-centered reasons to continue to recertify.

My question is: MUST I recertify? Do insurers or hospitals require

ACLS? (I will not be doing inpatient work) What about BLS or PALS?

What are the rules and who sets them?

Thanks for the input,

Jen Wallace
