The Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Two-day course is for physicians who have never taken the course or whose PALS completion card has expired, and includes 14 hours of class time. Baptist Health is an authorized American Heart Association (AHA) provider.

This course is designed for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a child, whether in or out of the hospital. Participants will enhance their skills in the treatment of arrest and peri-arrest pediatric patients through active participation in a series of simulated cardiopulmonary cases.

•    All Baptist Health two-day PALS classes will now include Basic Life Support (BLS) certification as part of the curriculum. After completing both days successfully, participants will be eligible to receive both the Advanced and Basic certification cards. BLS certification will not be part of the one-day PALS recertification course.
•    AHA courses are provided and managed by Baptist Health’s Department of Clinical Learning and are held at the Clinical Learning Center, located at 8530 SW 124 Ave,. in the Kendall Plaza Shopping Center in Miami or Bethesda Hospital West 9655 W Boynton Beach Blvd, Boynton Beach, FL 33472.
