Course Description:  Thousands of patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) fail to receive critical therapy in a timely fashion, and nearly 30 percent of patients with STEMI do not receive any reperfusion treatment at all. To help address these issues, the American Heart Association has created a dynamic online program, Learn:TM Rapid STEMI ID. This self-directed, eLearning course prepares healthcare professionals to evaluate and assess victims with potential symptoms of myocardial infarction, interpret ECGs for signs of STEMI, and activate a system of care for rapid reperfusion of an occluded coronary artery.

 

This course is designed for any healthcare professional (EMS to in-hospital providers) who wants to improve his/her STEMI recognition and assessment skills, or for healthcare professionals seeking to obtain continuing education credits.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Learn: Rapid STEMI ID?
A: Learn: Rapid STEMI ID is a self-directed, eLearning course designed to prepare healthcare professionals to evaluate and assess victims with potential symptoms of myocardial infarction, interpret ECGs for signs of STEMI, and activate a system of care for rapid reperfusion of an occluded coronary artery. To educate healthcare professionals, this course features a combination of audio, animation, interactive activities, and "learn more toolboxes.”

Course content includes:

• Understanding STEMI Systems of Care

• Basics of ACS and triage of STEMI patients

• Acquiring high-quality, 12-lead ECGs

• 12-lead findings that mimic STEMI

• 12-lead ECG practice test

• 2-part AHA exam

 

Q: Why did the American Heart Association develop Learn: Rapid STEMI ID?
A: The AHA developed this course to address key issues and critical gaps in treatment of patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). Currently, thousands of patients with STEMI fail to receive critical therapy in a timely fashion, and nearly 30 percent of patients with STEMI do not receive any reperfusion treatment at all.
This course was also developed to support the efforts of the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline™, a national initiative to improve quality of care and outcomes in heart attack patients by improving healthcare systems’ readiness and response to STEMI patients.

Q: Who is the target audience for this course?
A: This course is designed for any healthcare professional (EMS to in-hospital providers) who wants to improve his/her STEMI recognition and assessment skills, or for healthcare professionals (nurses and pre-hospital providers) seeking to obtain continuing education credits.

Q: Does this course offer a certification or credential? 
A: No. Completion of this course does not result in an AHA course completion card. However, a certificate of completion is available for the student to print at the end of the course. Students may also apply for continuing education credits upon completion.

Q: What are the unique features and benefits of Learn: Rapid STEMI ID?

A: Below are some of the key features and benefits of this course:
