CORD position statement on Advanced Life Support Course certifications


The CORD believes that Emergency Department patient care is best provided by specialists who have successfully completed an accredited residency program in Emergency Medicine.  Such individuals are trained to a much more rigorous standard than found in such courses.  For this reason, CORD recommends that such courses not be required for medical staff appointments or clinical privileges for ABEM/ABOEM certified or EM residency trained physicians.
