Health Professionals

The Wyckoff Heights Medical Center Alumni Association was established to represent all of the graduates of the many residency and fellowship programs that the hospital currently and has previously sponsored. Wyckoff has a long-standing tradition in providing excellent and comprehensive training in a variety of fields. We have had and continue to have an outstanding and devoted teaching faculty, staff and administration who are committed to the programs.

The Association has historically hosted an annual dinner dance. The organization has also supported a variety of events and programs that includes the annual hospital Graduate Medical Education Graduation, Nurses Week, the Cancer Survivor Picnic, and medical education programs. We honor an outstanding alumnus at our annual dinner dance. We also recognize our active alumni for every 5 years of service to WHMC.

The Association enjoys and welcomes the support of Friends of the WHMC Alumni Association, which includes administrators, staff and members of the community.

Annual membership is $50 and discounted fees are available for first year graduates. For information or to join the WHMC Alumni Association, please contact:

Mandatory Pre-Course Testing

For ACLS/PALS original or renewal pre-course self-assessment tests

The format has changed and there are now separate self-assessment tests for the original and renewal courses. A pre-test score of less than 84% means that you will most likely not do well on the final exam. A score of 70% must be achieved to pass the pre-test.

Do NOT have a friend take the pre-test for you.
Do NOT just click through the pre-test.
You will only cheat yourself.
