richACLS uses multimedia medical education tutorials to gain proficiency in ACLS/BLS, ECG Analysis & Hemodynamics. Medical education, in its traditional sense, has been limited to using textual material, line drawings, sketches and diagrams. richACLS uses the latest technology available with multimedia based interactive tutorials. Adopted by medical students and educational institutions, richACLS is ideal for online and distance learning programs with access anywhere with an internet connection.
Use of interactive graphics for explaining medical conditions is an innovation that will help improve speed, depth and enjoyment of learning. richACLS is a powerful tool that allows doctors, nurses, paramedics, practitioners and medical students to learn & practice critical clinical skills at their convenience.
