The PALS course covers:

  • 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

PALS training is intended for professionals who must be credentialed as a requirement for doing their jobs, including:

  • physician assistants 
  • nurses and nurse practitioners 
  • paramedics 
  • respiratory therapists
  • other providers required to initiate and direct advanced life support in pediatric emergencies

Students must pass a written exam and skills test in order to qualify for a PALS Provider Course Completion Card.

Course length is approximately 14 hours. Part 1 (cognitive portion) can be taken in an instructor-led training session or on a self-directed basis as an online eLearning course. Students then practice their skills (Part 2) and are tested (Part 3) with a certified American Heart Association PALS instructor.
