The Pediatric Advanced Cardiac Life Support (PALS) One-Day Renewal Course is for physicians with a current PALS completion card. This class requires the completion of the American Heart Association’s PALS Precourse Self-Assessment and Precourse Work. The course includes 4 hours of skills practice and assessment in a classroom environment with social distancing and PPE. Baptist Health is an authorized American Heart Association (AHA) provider.

The Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Provider Course is designed for Health-Care providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a child, whether in or out of hospital. In this course you will enhance your skills in the treatment of arrest and peri-arrest patients though active participation in a series of simulated cardiopulmonary cases. These core case simulations are designed to reinforce important concepts, including but not limited too:
•Identification and treatment of medical conditions that place the child at risk for cardiac arrest.
•The systematic approach to pediatric assessment, including general, primary, secondary, and tertiary assessments.
•The assess-categorize-decide-act approach to assessment and management of seriously ill child.
•PALS algorithms and flowcharts.
•Effective resuscitation team dynamics.
