ABOUT THE COURSEENLS is Emergency Neurological Life Support, aka the
“ACLS for the brain and spinal cord”, and was developed several
years ago by an Emergency Room physician and Neurointensivist via the
Neurocritical Care Society (NCS). This course is designed to help
healthcare professionals improve patient care and outcomes during the
critical first hours of a patient’s neurological emergency. ENLS
demonstrates a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach and provides
a consistent set of protocols, practical checklists, decision points,
and suggested communication to use during patient management.
Now held regularly at national and international venues, as well as
online. ENLS has become the crucial education tool for providers
caring for neurocritically ill patients.

Under the leadership of the University of Massachusetts Medical School
ENLS COURSE CO-directors, neuroanesthesiologist Dr. Shaheen Shaikh and
neurointensivist Dr. Marcey L. Osgood, we have put together a
phenomenal and informative educational venue. At the end of this
day long course, each participant has the opportunity to get
ENLS-certified (valid for 2 years) and we also offer a
re-certification course.
