Pediatric Advanced Life Support Provider (PALS)

The Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) course is designed for healthcare providers who initiate and direct basic through advanced life support of the pediatric patient. During the course, you will actively participate in a series of simulated core cases.

These simulations are designed to reinforce important concepts, including:

• Application of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment
• Use of the "evaluate-identify-intervene" sequence
• Use of PALS algorithms and flowcharts
• Demonstration of effective resuscitation team dynamics

To help you achieve the course objectives the course includes:

• Basic life support (BLS) competency testing
• Skills stations
• Core case discussions and simulations
• Core case testing stations
• A written exam
