PALS – Pediatric Advanced Life Support

Online Training

Classroom Training

On Site Training

The PALS Course is for healthcare providers who respond to emergencies in infants and children. These include personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care and critical care units, such as physicians, nurses, paramedics and others who need a PALS course completion card for job or other requirements.

The American Heart Association’s PALS training is cutting-edge in terms of its evidence-based content, and uses a well-tested methodology that can dramatically improve both the learning and retention of lifesaving skills. LifeTek Carlson’s experience offering AHA programs in the Seattle and Puget Sound region extends all the way back to 1976.

This program uses eSimulation technology to allow students to assess and treat patients in virtual healthcare settings. In this environment, students apply their knowledge to real-time decision-making and skills development. Debriefings and coaching are provided immediately after each simulation to facilitate learning about pediatric advanced life support.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will receive the same 2-year course card as those who take the conventional classroom course.
