Staff Competencies for Core Components

Brush Up on the Building Blocks of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation

AACVPR understands that new healthcare challenges may mean budget and staff constraints for our members’ programs. The time- and cost-effective bundles of The Staff Competencies for Core Components contain vital information on the key elements of cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation to support your program staff in delivering excellence in an evolving healthcare environment.

Each module has been designed in alignment with the "Core Competencies for Cardiac Rehabilitation/Secondary Prevention Professionals: 2010 Update" and "Clinical Competency Guidelines for Pulmonary Rehabilitation" documents and can be used to meet the competency requirements for Program Certification. Please Note: CR Competencies can only be used to meet the requirements for the CR Application, and PR Competencies can only be used to meet the requirements for the PR application.

As with all AACVPR Learning Center courses, access to the course is tied to the individual who purchases the bundle. Programs that would like to use the Staff Competencies Bundle for Program Certification can purchase one bundle for use by their team. AACVPR can provide PDF versions of the module exams upon written requests to education@aacvpr.org.

NEW! With the launch of AACVPR’s new Learning Center, included with new purchases of the Staff Competency for Core Components bundles are four (4) complimentary access passes for staff members at your program to access the Staff Competencies for Core Components. Individuals who you appoint to receive these free access passes will be able to view this product in their individual AACVPR Learning Center accounts, complete the knowledge assessments, and claim CEUs. Please email education@aacvpr.org with the first name, last name and email address of the four (4) individuals who you would like to appoint to receive these free access passes.

It is the responsibility of the purchaser to provide AACVPR with the names for the free access passes. Failure to provide names before the original purchase expiration date will result in forfeiture of the access passes. Access pass viewing windows will expire on the same day as the original course purchase.
