QxALS Adult Instructor Training 2026

1. Introduction and purpose

We want to hear from you

I am certain that there are people who know more than we do in specific areas. We want to hear from them, learn from them and give them a place in the project so that the whole team grows.

Over the years, REASEL has built the setting, platform, academic validation and a community committed to transforming the response to cardiac arrest in special situations. We now want to open this effort to professionals who can contribute their experience and use education to transform practice, make a lasting impact on learners and improve teams' responses to every resuscitation event.

The purpose of this call is to select and develop between six and ten primary candidates, with the possibility of appointing up to two alternates, for a structured pathway of training, assessment and eventual accreditation as a QxALS Adult Instructor.

Team philosophy

We are not here to train resuscitation protagonists. We are here to train professionals who can make a team function. In the operating room, leadership does not mean everyone trying to direct at the same time. It means knowing when to coordinate, when to execute, when to support and how always to integrate into what the patient and team need.

2. Academic and institutional ecosystem

Training takes place within a structure connecting education, simulation, clinical practice, research, publications, international representation and regional collaboration.

A connected structure

Programmes and projects do not function as isolated initiatives. They share a philosophy of contextual training, teamwork, assessment, scientific updating and methodological protection.

3. Scope, places and candidate profiles

This call is for professionals residing in Mexico. People interested from other countries have a separate registration route, described in section 12 of the published source.

• No minimum number of years of professional experience is required.
• Previous experience as a teacher or instructor is not mandatory.
• Training in clinical simulation, education or academic design will be viewed favourably but does not guarantee acceptance.
• Residents in any year may participate if they have the necessary time and obtain their institution's permission.
• Nursing applicants require applicable professional training and activity connected to the operating room, recovery, critical care, cardiac catheterization, ECMO, emergency care, hospitalization or resuscitation.
• Applying does not imply acceptance. REASEL may select between six and ten primary candidates and up to two alternates, according to the quality of profiles and its capacity for support.

Places, alternates and confirmation

Selected alternates will not make payments until they receive a formal offer of a place. Primary candidates will have up to five business days to confirm their place through the first payment. If they do not do so within that period, REASEL may offer the place to the next alternate.

4. Entry pathways and investment

We are committed to identifying the candidates with the greatest potential, even if they have not yet completed QxALS online and in-person training.

An integrated pathway is available to these candidates. It preserves all requirements and may culminate, after successful completion of each stage, in validation as a QxALS Instructor.

Amounts include taxes and may be invoiced when the participant submits the required tax information within the administrative deadline.

The instructor-training fee includes virtual training and the specific in-person instructor session; a personal instructor manual and temporary access to authorized resources; two supervised teaching placements and a third remedial placement when indicated; individual assessment, feedback, mentoring and follow-up throughout the process; and meals during the in-person training day. Parking at Universidad Anáhuac Campus Sur is subject to institutional availability.

It does not include travel, accommodation, parking at other venues, personal expenses or a fourth or subsequent supervised placement. Any additional fee must be communicated before scheduling the activity.

Payment arrangements for selected profiles

When the committee identifies a high-potential candidate who still needs to complete QxALS, REASEL may agree an individualized payment schedule. This arrangement does not reduce requirements, guarantee accreditation or enable early access to internal materials.

5. Training structure and duration

Estimated individual duration: between six and twelve months. This does not mean twelve months of continuous classes.

The period includes virtual preparation, practice in real courses, venue availability, assessment and possible remediation activities.

Protected access

Master materials, scenarios, assessments, internal guides, software and configurations will be enabled personally, temporarily and revocably only after QxALS provider accreditation and signature of the corresponding agreements.

6. Application and selection process

The application uses two linked forms. The first records the formal intention to participate and confirms that the applicant knows the conditions. The second receives the full application file and documents.

• Curriculum vitae of no more than two pages.
• Professional or academic letter of recommendation.
• Evidence of QxALS status.
• Professional document or proof of residency training, as applicable.
• Motivation to join QxALS and expected contribution.
• Reflection on why cardiac arrest in a special situation cannot be approached in the same way as conventional cardiac arrest.
• An example of initiative and execution without constant supervision.
• Areas of development and interest within REASEL and CLREASE.

Communication of results

Results will be communicated individually. Comparisons between applicants and named scores will not be published. Academic assessment will use 85% as a reference; when the overall profile is favourable, the committee may prescribe remediation or consider the candidate for a later cohort. Decisions are final for this call.

7. Assessment, supervised placements and accreditation

Attendance and payment do not guarantee accreditation. Two supervised placements are the minimum requirement, but the final decision depends on demonstrated competence.

• The authorized designation during this stage is QxALS Adult Instructor Candidate.
• Candidates act under supervision and may not certify participants, independently direct an edition or present themselves as accredited instructors.
• An ordinary maximum of three candidates per course will be sought to protect learners' experience and allow sufficient feedback.
• Date and venue assignment depends on the calendar, candidate availability, the presence of a supervisor and the programme's academic needs.

8. Teaching participation and remuneration

After accreditation as a QxALS Instructor, your work is remunerated.

Coordination is a function assigned for a specific edition. It is not a permanent category or a separate hierarchy within the faculty.

Supervised placements are educational and do not generate fees. Each subsequent participation requires an invitation, express acceptance and an agreement for the event. Accreditation does not guarantee a number of courses or create permanent employment, exclusivity or a fixed salary.

During training and supervised placements, travel, accommodation and personal expenses are the candidate's responsibility unless authorized in writing. When an accredited instructor is invited outside their city, REASEL covers previously authorized expenses within reasonable limits. Alcoholic beverages, companions and personal expenses are not covered.

Course structure

Each edition has a QxALS Course Coordinator and may include one or more QxALS Instructors, according to participant numbers, stations and academic needs.

9. Academic, scientific and professional development

Instructor accreditation can be the beginning of a broader pathway within the REASEL–CLREASE ecosystem.

Participation in publications, authorship, congresses, committees or positions is neither automatic nor guaranteed by payment or accreditation. It depends on real contributions, preparation, compliance, ethical criteria, project availability and institutional invitations.

Growth pathway

Teach — deepen knowledge — research — publish — represent — train others.

10. Proposed calendar

Scheduling is designed to allow candidates to complete the provider course, virtual instructor phase and necessary preparation before the in-person session at the end of October.

Possible changes

Dates may be adjusted due to venue availability, travel, academic calendars, operational conditions or justified cohort needs. Changes will be communicated in advance, and agreement with selected people will be sought.

11. Summary of operational terms

These terms clarify how the process will be administered after selection. Individual documents signed by accredited or selected candidates will develop legal and operational obligations more precisely.

Authorization to use photographs or video for publicity will be collected separately. Refusal of promotional image use will not affect selection. When internal recording is used for assessment or quality purposes, its purpose and handling will be explained.

Loss of current status may require academic updating, assessment, one or more supervised placements and a reactivation fee. REASEL may recognize previously completed stages when inactivity has been brief and competence remains demonstrable.

12. Confidentiality, conduct, validity and financial provisions

Protected materials, professional conduct and continuing accreditation requirements.

Cases, scenarios, assessments, algorithms, manuals, software, configurations, databases, guides, editable files and internal processes remain protected. Access is personal, temporary, identified, revocable and non-transferable.

Copying, sharing, recording, publishing, selling, adapting, sublicensing or using QxALS materials outside authorized activities is not permitted. Institutional or hospital use requires written REASEL authorization.

QxALS Instructor accreditation is valid for two years. Maintaining it requires a minimum of four verifiable activities during that period, aiming for at least two per year, in addition to mandatory updates and calibration. While instructors retain active status, their QxALS provider certification remains valid at no additional cost.

• Respect, integrity, punctuality, safety and confidentiality.
• No discrimination, harassment, intimidation or deliberate humiliation.
• Responsible use of social media and protection of participants' images.
• Honest assessment, no retaliation and respect for professional boundaries.
• Participation under the effects of alcohol or substances compromising performance is prohibited.

13. Interested professionals outside Mexico

The main call is directed at Mexico, but international interest will not be lost.

REASEL will register interested professionals by country to connect them with existing venues, form groups and develop new national pathways under its academic and methodological guidance.

Use the international interest form if you live outside Mexico and wish to receive information about your country's pathway.

Scope of registration

Registering interest does not guarantee immediate opening of a venue, course or instructor place. It allows the right people to be organized to build each process responsibly.
