PALS RENEWAL

The PALS Renewal Course offers a supportive, stress-free learning environment designed to help healthcare professionals confidently renew their Pediatric Advanced Life Support certification. Updated with the latest American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, this course delivers current, evidence-based instruction focused on real-world pediatric emergencies.

This program equips pediatric healthcare providers with the knowledge, skills, and clinical strategies needed to recognize, assess, and manage critically ill infants and children—ultimately improving patient outcomes. Concepts are explained clearly and practically, making them easy to understand, retain, and apply in high-pressure situations.

The course is designed for pediatricians, emergency physicians, family physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals who initiate or lead advanced life support during pediatric emergencies.

Using a scenario-based, team-centered approach, participants practice managing infants and children who are at risk for—or already experiencing—respiratory or cardiac arrest. PALS certification cards are issued immediately upon course completion and are valid for two years.
