IMPORTANT AHA TRAINING UPDATE DURING COVID-19 OUTBREAK

The American Heart Association has issued guidance addressing renewal of Provider Cards and extensions during the COVID-19 outbreak. In summary:
​

• The AHA recommends that employers and regulatory bodies consider extending recognition of an AHA Provider Card beyond its renewal date, for up to 60 days.

 

• The AHA recommends considering extensions of up to 60 days, but this recommendation could be extended based on the evolving COVID-19 public health threat. 

​

• Over the next 60 days, for providers whose cards have expired due to inability to complete training during the COVID-19 outbreak, the AHA will allow the Instructor to provide remediation during update courses.​​​
