Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Courses
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) courses are designed to teach and review the lifesaving skills required for healthcare providers who respond to emergencies in infants and children. These include personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care and critical care units such as physicians, nurses, paramedics and others who need a PALS course completion card for job or other requirements.
