Welcome to the URMC AHA Instructor Portal.
The AHA has announced the 2025 content update is expected to be out by October. Currently, all we know is that all instructors will be required to complete an update on the new material before the end of the year. Specifics of this update class have not been released. We are planning for the worst case and that the update must be done in person.
SAVE THE DATE: AHA Instructor Update, November 5, 2025, 6pm to 9:30pm.
We will keep you posted as new materials and information becomes available.
