The PALS Provider Course aims to improve outcomes for pediatric patients by preparing healthcare providers to effectively recognize and intervene in patients with respiratory emergencies, shock, and cardiopulmonary arrest by using high‐performance team dynamics and high‐quality individual skills. The course includes a series of case scenario practices with simulations that reinforce important concepts. Upon successful completion of all the patient cases, students must pass the multiple-choice exam with a minimum score of 84%.

HeartCode PALS is the AHA’s PALS blended learning delivery method. Blended learning is a combination of eLearning, in which a student completes part of the course in a self-directed manner, followed by a hands-on skills session.

This online course provides an alternative to classroom training for healthcare professionals seeking an initial or update PALS  Providers course completion card.

HeartCode courses combine online learning with hands-on CPR skills practice to ensure competency. If you purchased the HeartCode PALS Provider online portion directly from the American Heart Association, you will need to pay here separately for the hands-on skills of the HeartCode PALS Provider to receive a course completion card.
