Does anyone has any idea regarding taking ACLS and PALS, before going for interviews? Do you feel more relaxed if you have the certificate in hand?

Many programs will only recognize this if it's done in the USA - just a warning before someone spends money overseas.

Good luck

ACLS is only a 2-day course. It's enjoyable so why not taking one!

hi,
what is ACLS and PALS?please tell me

  #5

HOw much it cost to do ACLS here is USA?

  #6

it doesnot add anything to ur credentials list and is probably of not much use during or after interviews,it comes as a free incentive during or before the start of every residency so why bother paying for it now?

NOW if ur getting it for free I would take it,donot spend money on these things just for enhancing ur chances at match.
