With roots in public health, academic medicine and emergency medical services, the Resuscitation Academy works with EMS providers and leaders, as well as community and elected officials, to help communities worldwide strengthen their cardiac arrest survival rates.
Based in Seattle, King County, USA, we are rooted in public health, academic medicine and emergency medical services. Our free workshops and resources are based on science and tested by years of experience. To increase our reach, we partner with the American Heart Association and Laerdal Medical to develop life-saving programs.
The RA is also a proud member of the Global Resuscitation Alliance, convened in 2015 at the Utstein Abbey in Norway by EMS leaders, researchers and experts to address two challenges: increasing community cardiac arrest survival worldwide and achieving implementation of best practices and worthwhile programs.
From free instructional events and do-it-yourself resources to hands-on consultative initiatives, the Resuscitation Academy offers training workshops for EMS professionals and leaders to improve cardiac arrest patient outcomes.
The flagship Resuscitation Academy workshop introduces EMS leaders to the 10 steps for improving survival from cardiac arrest, including establishing a registry, telephone CPR, high-performance CPR and more.
