Upcoming PALS Classes
What to Expect from a PALS Class
The American Heart Association Pediatric Advanced Life Support course is based on science evidence from the most current AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC. The goal of the PALS certification course is to aid pediatric healthcare providers in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to manage critically ill infants and children efficiently and effectively, resulting in improved outcomes. Skills taught in this first aid class include recognition and treatment of infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest, the systematic approach to pediatric assessment, effective respiratory management, defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion, intraosseous access and fluid bolus administration, and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
This course is designed for pediatricians, emergency physicians, family physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare providers who initiate and direct advanced life support in pediatric emergencies.
This instructor-led, hands-on class format reinforces skills proficiency and covers the cognitive and skills portions of the certification. Completion of this course will grant you a PALS Provider Course Completion Card, valid for two years.
