An AHA PALS Instructor conducts the PALS Course in a classroom setting, supported by video. The course uses a series of simulated pediatric emergencies to reinforce the important concepts of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, PALS treatment algorithms, effective resuscitation, and team dynamics. The course offers life-like skills animations, team dynamics role play, and scenarios appropriate to different providers (pre-hospital and in-hospital). Students must complete a pre-course self-assessment and pre-course work before attending the classroom session. Copies of the completed pre-course work must be emailed to CPR@IdahoAcademy.com 24 hours before the class date. The link for this is provided below:
