Yes, everyone who works in an Emergency Room is required to maintain CPR and ACLS (advanced cardiac life support) certification according to the ACLS Certification Institute.

CPR is required for the layperson and BLS (basic life support) is required for the healthcare provider. Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is required for the first responder in emergency settings - i.e. the ER.
