Coordinator Corner

Welcome to the very first edition of The HeartBeat!

Whether you’ve been teaching with us for years or recently joined our instructor family, thank you for everything you do. Every class you teach, every student you mentor, and every skill you help develop has a direct impact on the patients and communities we serve. Your dedication truly makes a difference.

One of my goals this year is to improve communication and make it easier for you to stay informed about Training Center updates, instructor requirements, available resources, and upcoming opportunities. The HeartBeat is designed to do just that. Each quarterly issue will provide important reminders, helpful tips, compliance updates, answers to frequently asked questions, and a behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening within our Training Center.

As we head into a busy fall season, now is a great time to make sure your instructor documentation is current, review your monitoring requirements, and verify that your contact information is up to date. Staying ahead of these items helps ensure a smooth renewal process and allows us to better support you throughout the year.

I also encourage you to reach out whenever you have questions, suggestions, or ideas for future newsletter topics. If there’s something that would help you be more successful as an instructor, I’d love to hear from you. This newsletter is for you, and your feedback will help shape future editions.

Thank you for your continued commitment to excellence in resuscitation education. I appreciate the time, professionalism, and passion you bring to every course. I look forward to another successful year working alongside each of you.
Have a safe and wonderful fall!
