This course is designed for licensed healthcare providers who either direct or participate the resuscitation of a of a child or infant. This course will enhance the participant’s skills in the treatment of arrest and peri-arrest patients through active participation in a series of simulated cardiopulmonary cases. These core case simulations are designed to reinforce important emergent pediatric and related emergencies in infants and children. This course follows a structured, detailed, and slow-paced curriculum optimal for team members that do not respond to pediatric emergencies regularly and for initial certification.

This class requires the completion of the American Heart Association’s PALS Precourse Self-Assessment and Precourse Work. a four (4) hour module comprised by multiple video-lessons and a pre-assessment test prior to the participation in the live session. The live session is 12 hours long spread over two days. Day one is eight (8) hours and day two is four (4) hours.
