NCT ID NCT07358741
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a one-day advanced life support (ALS) recertification course works as well as the usual two-day course. About 158 healthcare professionals like doctors and nurses will take either the short or standard course. Researchers will test their knowledge, practical skills, satisfaction, and confidence to see if the shorter option is effective.
