About American Vital Institute
Empowering confidence. Saving lives.
American Vital Institute (AVI) was founded by healthcare professionals who believe that life-saving education should be accessible, practical, and built on real-world experience.
We've been on the front lines — in hospitals, clinics, emergency settings, and healthcare education — and we understand how critical it is for people to feel confident and prepared when emergencies happen. That experience is what drives everything we do.

Clear about what online training can and cannot replace
