First in the Nation: A Cut Above the Competition

In 1983, a diverse group of health care specialists and educators responded to the need for post-graduate medical education and founded the American Medical Resource Institute ™ (AMRI). AMRI was chartered and authorized to conduct business by the State of Illinois. For nearly three decades, we have provided innovative courses in post-graduate health care education. AMRI’s faculty represents well-known academics and clinicians from coast to coast. AMRI created the first, post-graduate continuing education module for hospitals and then connected with other professionals to implement the programs that saved hospitals money and provided the necessary education to their staffs.

By 2000, online programs had spread to major universities and law schools as well as certification processes such as state licensing examinations. The AMRI Board of Directors determined that if one could receive a recognized, accredited college degree via online services, ACLS and PALS clients would greatly benefit from such a format.

In 2002, AMRI was again the first – this time recognizing the need for online post-graduate educational opportunities and thus launched its top-notch ACLS and PALS certification online. Since that time, more than 200,000 health care professionals from all 50 states and over 30 foreign countries have successfully completed in the program.

AMRI’s multi-disciplinary approach to education appeals to serious practitioners looking for the opportunity to utilize case-based models designed to test their clinical skills and provide them with tools to use in real-time after certification. Recognizing the need, our founders were the first to develop the ACLS certification utilizing case-based educational techniques.

“AMRI remains committed to providing the highest-quality post-graduate education to our clients,” says AMRI President, Leslie Parker Olesen. “Using all the resources available to us, both technological and medical, we are continually upgrading and improving our programs and services while ensuring affordability and convenience.”
