What Was Save a Life by NHCPS?
National Health Care Provider Solutions, widely known as Save a Life by NHCPS, was founded by Karl Disque, D.O., RPH, a board-certified physician and practicing anesthesiologist. His goal was to make life support education more accessible for health care professionals who could not easily attend traditional, in-person certification courses.
By offering fully online, self-paced training, NHCPS removed barriers that had long made certification difficult for busy clinicians. Over time, it became a trusted global platform for flexible, high-quality education.
NHCPS also operated as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Proceeds supported the work of the Disque Foundation, helping expand access to life-saving training in underserved communities worldwide. Over more than a decade, Save a Life by NHCPS achieved global reach, helping learners in 180+ countries and empowering more than 6 million individuals with life-saving skills.
Courses included:
- Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
- Basic Life Support (BLS)
- Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
- CPR and AED training
- First Aid
- Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP)
All courses were accredited by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine, allowing eligible learners to earn AMA Category 1 Credits™
What is Advanced Medical Certification (AMC)?
Advanced Medical Certification is an accredited online certification provider for health care professionals worldwide. It delivers flexible, physician-designed training that aligns with the latest science from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR).
AMC courses are compliant with The Joint Commission requirements, supporting clinicians who need certifications that meet workplace and regulatory expectations.
Importantly, AMC and NHCPS were both built by the same leadership team under the same educational philosophy: make life-saving education accessible, practical, and grounded in evidence-based standards.
AMC offers:
- ACLS, BLS, and PALS certification and recertification
- CPR certification courses
- Continuing education and CME credit opportunities
The platform builds on what NHCPS users already trust while expanding what services are available.
Why Did NHCPS Merge with AMC?
The merger between National Health Care Provider Solutions and Advanced Medical Certification was a natural evolution. Both organizations shared the same founders, mission, accreditation, and course standards from the beginning.
Bringing them together creates a more streamlined experience for learners. Instead of navigating multiple platforms, everything is now accessible in one place, with a broader course library, improved technology, and expanded CME opportunities.
As Karl Disque explains, this transition reflects a continued commitment to learners and to expanding access to life-saving education. The mission has not changed. The platform supporting that mission has simply evolved.
