APSF, ASA, and CSSALT launch simulation course on defibrillation, cardioversion, and pacing
The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (APSF) in collaboration with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) has launched a new online, guided-simulation course developed by a team of clinicians and our department’s Center for Safety, Simulation & Advanced Learning Technologies (CSSALT). The course is titled Manual External Defibrillation, Cardioversion, and Pacing (MEDCP). It was released in February 2025 as part of the APSF’s ongoing Technology Education Initiative and provides 3 CME credits upon completion including patient safety designation and optionally 2 MOCA Quality Improvement (QI) points.
