With roots in public health, academic medicine and emergency medical services, the Resuscitation Academy works with EMS providers and leaders, as well as community and elected officials, to help communities worldwide strengthen their cardiac arrest survival rates.
Closing the Gap
Your chance of survival from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest varies
from less than 5% to more than 60%
depending on where you are. Together, we can equip every community to save more lives.
Workshops and Programs
Learn with the Resuscitation Academy
From free instructional events and do-it-yourself resources to hands-on consultative initiatives, the Resuscitation Academy offers training workshops for EMS professionals and leaders to improve cardiac arrest patient outcomes.
Our Mission
The Resuscitation Academy’s mission is to increase survival from sudden cardiac arrest.
Based in Seattle, King County, USA, we are rooted in public health, academic medicine and emergency medical services. Our free workshops and resources are based on science and tested by years of experience. To increase our reach, we partner with the American Heart Association and Laerdal Medical to develop life-saving programs.
The RA is also a proud member of the Global Resuscitation Alliance, convened in 2015 at the Utstein Abbey in Norway by EMS leaders, researchers and experts to address two challenges: increasing community cardiac arrest survival worldwide and achieving implementation of best practices and worthwhile programs.
Our Valued Supporters
Thank you to the following organizations for their generous contributions to the Resuscitation Academy.
“Success breeds success; we had immediate, positive results with HP-CPR after working with the Resuscitation Academy. News of this success spread rapidly through the ranks, and the providers were motivated to be part of it.”
