The Paediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Provider course will help you to develop individual skills – as a member of a healthcare team – in simulated real-life situations that mirror your work life in which you’ll need to recognize and respond to cardiopulmonary arrests or other cardiovascular emergencies involving paediatric patients.
These simulations will involve high-quality CPR, high-performance team dynamics and communication, and a systematic approach to paediatric assessment that includes the evaluate-identify-intervene sequence. You will be able to reinforce concepts, undertake skills practice, receive coaching and correction, and refine your abilities before final testing.
