What is covered: Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) is designed to provide pediatric healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently and effectively manage critically ill infants and children to help improve outcomes.
The course uses a scenario-based, team approach to teach pediatric emergency management of pediatric patients approaching, or already in, respiratory, shock, or cardiac arrest. The course covers treatment beyond the first few emergency minutes and goes through stabilizing patients or transport phases of a pediatric emergency, in or out of the hospital.
Completion card: PALS Provider eCard is issued immediately at the end of the in-person skills session; eCard is valid for two years. There will be 2.5 hours of CE/CEU/CME awarded to those who are in healthcare professions that qualify (2.75 hours for EMS personnel).
Notes: Part 1 of this course is taken ONLINE through eLearning.Heart.org with the access code supplied with your registration. The in-person Skills Session (Parts 2 and 3) will be completed at one of our training facilities after completing Part 1 and scheduling a Skills Session for Parts 2 and 3.
Instructions for registering for the skills session are provided in the confirmation email sent after registering.
