This course teaches healthcare professionals to treat pediatric patients presenting with peri-arrest, cardiac arrest, and other life-threatening emergencies.
If you do not see a course offering that meets your schedule, we are happy to coordinate a class to accommodate your needs.
This course is offered year round. Starting November 1, 2018 PALS courses will run from 9am-3pm for two consecutive days.
The goal of the Pediatric Advanced Life Support Course is to provide the learner with information needed to recognize infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest, offer information and strategies needed to prevent cardiopulmonary arrest in infants and children, and to demonstrate the cognitive and psychomotor skills needed to resuscitate and stabilize infants and children in respiratory failure, shock, or cardiopulmonary arrest.
