Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
PALS Provider Courses
The 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 pediatric patients.
These simulations will involve high-quality CPR, high-performance team dynamics and communication, and a systematic approach to pediatric 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.
NYGH faculty teach using the blended learning format. This format allows the learner to delve into parts of the curriculum on their own time and pace and then take the instructor-led, in-classroom component when ready.
