*** THIS IS THE SKILLS CHECK-OFF FOR THE ONLINE PALS COURSE ***

The Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Course aims to improve outcomes for pediatric patients by preparing healthcare providers to effectively recognize and intervene in patients with respiratory emergencies, shock, and cardiopulmonary arrest by using high‐performance team dynamics and high‐quality individual skills. The course includes a series of case scenario practices with simulations that reinforce important concepts.

Who should take this course?

The AHA’s PALS Course is for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the management of respiratory and/or cardiovascular emergencies and cardiopulmonary arrest in pediatric patients. After completing the online portion, students will attend this structured, Instructor-led hands-on session that focuses on meaningful skills practice, debriefing, team dynamics training, megacode cases, discussions of local protocols and skills testing. This course is designed for students who have completed the online HeartCode PALS Course (https://shopcpr.heart.org/heartcode-pals). THIS IS THE SKILLS CHECK-OFF FOR THE ONLINE COURSE.
