Pediatric Advanced Life Support 2-Day Initial Course
AHA’s PALS Course has been updated to reflect new science in the 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. This course builds on the foundation of lifesaving BLS skills, emphasizing the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR.
This PALS course is designed for healthcare providers who have not completed an PALS course or do not have a current PALS certification. The PALS Provider Course is designed by the American Heart Association for healthcare providers who initiate and direct advanced life support through the stabilization or transport phases of a pediatric emergency either in or out of the hospital.
Learning Objectives
In this course the learners will enhance their skills in the evaluation and management of an infant or child with respiratory compromise, circulatory compromise, or cardiac arrest.
Course Preparation
Learners should allow themselves adequate time to prepare for this course by studying the current American Heart Association student manual and completing the precourse exam online or in the student precourse packet. Before taking the PALS course, students must pass the online PALS Precourse Self-Assessment with a score of 70% or higher, precourse information will be provided upon enrollment.
Continuing Education Units
16 hours of CE credit are awarded upon successful completion of the two day course. Students will receive an American Heart Association completion card which is valid for two years.
