In-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation training often happens in silos, with minimal interprofessional training. The aim of this study was to implement and evaluate a simulation-enhanced, interprofessional cardiac arrest curriculum in a university hospital. The curriculum ran monthly for 12 months, training interprofessional teams of internal medicine residents, nurses, respiratory therapists, and pharmacy residents. Teams participated in a 90-min high-fidelity simulation including “code blue” (30 min) followed by a 30-min debriefing and a repeat identical simulated “code blue” scenario. Teams were tested in an unannounced mock Code Blue the following month. Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) algorithm adherence was assessed using a standardized checklist. In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) incidence and survival was tracked for 2 years prior, during, and 1 year after curriculum implementation. Team ACLS-algorithm adherence at baseline varied from 47% to 90% (mean of 71 ± 11%) and improved immediately following training (mean 88 ± 4%, range 80–93%,  p  = .011). This improvement persisted but decreased in magnitude over 1 month (mean 81 ± 7%,  p  = .013). Medical resident self-reported comfort levels with resuscitation skills varied widely at baseline, but improved for all skills post-curriculum. This simulation-enhanced, spaced practice, interprofessional curriculum resulted in a sustained improvement in team ACLS algorithm adherence.
