This initial PALS course is designed for health professionals who direct or participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest, shock, and other respiratory/cardiovascular emergencies in pediatric patients. Through pre-course preparation, classroom instruction, and participation in skills stations and simulated cases, students will enhance their ability to recognize and intervene in these emergencies. Simulations reinforce the importance of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, treatment algorithms, and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
