PALS

Welcome to the Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Provider course.

Please ensure you are studying the 2020 PALS provider manual. The manual can be purchased through the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

The PALS provider course is designed to teach you lifesaving skills for pediatric resuscitation. You will practice as both, a team member and a team leader in either pre-hospital or hospital settings. The PALS course covers extensive material in a short time (2-day session). It is highly recommended that students prepare for the course in advance. 

Pre-course requirements 

  • BLS competency: Students are required to have a current BLS provider card through the Heart and Stroke Foundation (within one year). Please be prepared to demonstrate competence in 1-rescuer and 2-rescuer infant and child BLS (including AED use).
  • PALS algorithms: Be familiar with the algorithms so that you can apply them in clinical simulation scenarios.
  • The Pre-course Self- Assessment evaluates your knowledge in cardiac rhythm recognition, pharmacology, and practical application. A passing score is 70%. You may attempt the test an unlimited number of times. Students must bring the Pre-course Self-Assessment Certificate (or screenshot) to class.
