ACLS HeartCode (Hybrid) is a two-part class designed for busy healthcare providers. First, you complete the American Heart Association’s HeartCode® ACLS online at your own pace, including the learning modules and final quiz. Then you schedule a short in-person skills session at OMI (about 1–2 hours), where an AHA Instructor checks your BLS and ACLS “mega code” skills and answers any last questions. After you pass both parts, you receive the same AHA ACLS Provider eCard (valid for 2 years) as the full classroom course. Just bring a photo ID and your HeartCode completion certificate to the skills session, this hybrid format gives you flexible study time with a quick, focused hands-on checkout.

Upon completion of enrollment and payment the student will receive an email containing their AHA Online ACLS Instructor Essentials Module and their AHA ACLS Instructor Manual. When the student completes the online Instructor Essentials Module they will simply email the certificate to John Gibson at jgibson@omi.edu and schedule their Training Center Instructor Led portion of the course.

An instructor candidate must complete all requirements and align with an approved primary AHA TC that is authorized by the AHA to teach in that territory before teaching a course other than the initial monitored course. Only instructors aligned with a TC are authorized to teach courses and issue course completion cards.

The following are requirements for instructor primary alignment:

  • No fees are paid to the AHA for this alignment. Any fees charged for instructor alignment are solely at the discretion of the TC.
  • The TCC may require a meeting with or monitoring of the instructor applicant before acceptance. The course monitoring will be done by designated TCF. The TCC decides whether to accept the instructor for alignment. This decision is final.
  • TCs may cancel the alignment (deactivate) of an instructor with their TC who fails to act in accordance with AHA course policy or TC policy.
  • TCs are not obligated to accept all instructors who apply for alignment. The TC has the sole right to determine which instructors to keep on its roster based on its criteria.
  • An instructor may align with more than 1 AHA TC. The instructor may have to meet additional teaching and monitoring requirements as determined by each additional TC.

 

ACLS is an advanced, Instructor-led classroom course that highlights the importance of team dynamics and communication, systems of care and immediate post-cardiac arrest care. It also covers airway management and related pharmacology. In this course, skills are taught in large, group sessions and small, group learning and testing stations where case-based scenarios are presented.

Medical professionals who respond to cardiovascular emergencies in and out of the hospital enhance their treatment knowledge and skills through the AHA’s ACLS training courses.

Emergency Vehicle Operator Course (EVOC), which is designed to enhance the ability for first responders to identify the importance of proper training for emergency vehicle operations. With this course, students will deal with the many dynamic forces of nature and physics, which will work both for and against the safe operation of emergency vehicles.

 

EVOC is a five-part series that includes the following courses:

Emergency Vehicle Driving Requirements

This explains the importance of emergency vehicle driving, the impact of vehicle accidents to you and the organization, responsibilities for safe emergency vehicles operations, and the factors that contribute to an incident involving emergency vehicles. Learners will take away an essential understanding of the complexities of driving under emergency conditions, the hazards of intersections and finally the risks of backing apparatus and vehicles.

Selecting the Proper Personnel for Driving Emergency Vehicle

This will explain that proper personnel selection procedures are the first steps in developing an effective, safe emergency vehicle driver program. It will also define the legal aspects of emergency vehicle operations. And why it is necessary to have standard operating guidelines.

Emergency Vehicle Characteristics

This part will focus on vehicle features that the Emergency Vehicle Driver should know. The course will define the various types of Emergency Vehicle Inspections and maintenance programs a department must have set-up. The course will also focus on the different weight distribution factors and center of gravity when driving these emergency vehicles.

Emergency Vehicle Driving Dynamics

This course will focus on the dynamics of how to drive an emergency vehicle and stay safe in the process. It will focus on how to prevent Emergency Vehicle Roll Over and Vehicle Dynamics and Physical Forces effect the operation of these types of vehicles.

Emergency Vehicle Driving Techniques

This module will cover all the techniques needed to maintain the highest level of safety possible. It also includes how to prepare for unexpected situations and conditions which can adversely affect emergency vehicle operation. As well as defensive driving techniques that include space management, following distance and rate of closure, hazard identification and correct braking techniques to name a few tactical skills.

NREMT Review Course (In-Person)
This intensive, in-person review course is designed to fully prepare EMT and Paramedic candidates for success on the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) exam. Over the course of 3 weeks, students will attend one session per week (choose from Tuesday, Friday, or Saturday) to build knowledge, sharpen test-taking strategies, and strengthen confidence.

Course Highlights:

  • Comprehensive review of key EMS concepts across all NREMT domains

  • Practice exams with instructor-led debriefs

  • Test-taking strategies to improve speed and accuracy

By the end of this structured program, students will be better prepared both academically and practically to challenge the NREMT exam with confidence.

Orlando Medical Institute's Paramedic Program is 1,110 hours (48 weeks) of classroom activities/labs and clinical internship. You will learn how to take charge at the scene of an emergency and, if necessary, perform life-saving procedures while transporting patients to the hospital. Since paramedics may administer drug and perform certain invasive procedures on patients before they arrive at the emergency department, they are sometimes known as the “hands” of emergency doctors on the scene.

In EMS, the majority of calls will fall into either medical or trauma situations.

Medical calls usually involve illnesses like heart attacks, severe allergic reactions, labor and delivery and complications from shock. Paramedics can administer a wide variety of medications to soothe patient symptoms until they arrive at the hospital.

Trauma calls usually involve an accident or physical injury. Paramedics will respond to the scenes of car crashes, falls, bar fights and sports injuries. In the wake of recent mass shootings emergency services providers are increasingly training with police and other agencies to triage and treat multiple critical patients in dangerous scenes.

The paramedic flipped classroom module is just like our EMT flipped program, it’s based on at-home learning for core content, followed by in-class application level activities to reinforce material learned at home. as mention with the EMT program, the evidence from other disciplines report improved student learning in a flipped setting classroom. Upon successful completion of this program, all students will be eligible to take examinations for certification as a Florida State Paramedic.
