PALS is the acronym for the term Pediatric Advanced Life Support. It is a course built for healthcare providers who show up for the scariest calls, emergencies involving infants and children, and it’s especially suited to those working in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care, and critical care units.
Our Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) course at CNA Training Institute in Dubai takes you deeper into pediatric emergency medicine knowledge. The course was developed under the regulatory guidelines of the American Heart Association (AHA). It is not just a “refresher” for physicians, nurses, pharmacists and medical staff. Instead, it is a comprehensive course that truly provides them with a thorough understanding of the assessment and treatment of the critically ill child.
This course is relevant to anyone who intervenes when children and infants are in crisis from birth to school age, and teams involved in emergency response, emergency medicine and critical care. Our pediatric advanced life support training is designed to leave participants genuinely ready for these high-stakes moments, not just familiar with the steps on paper. Finish the course, and you’ll walk away with a completion card valid for two years. Worth double-checking with your employer beforehand, just to make sure you’re signing up for the right course for your role.
Although we predict that it will take one or two days, the actual time it will take might range anywhere from ten to fifteen hours. The goal is to provide comprehensive training while adhering to rigid timetables in the healthcare industry.
We’ve always known that reading about an emergency and then actually responding to an emergency were two different experiences. This is why our pediatric advanced life support training has a strong focus on hands-on training and realistic scenario simulations to reflect the true nature of a real pediatric emergency. Practice makes the quick and steady decision making that no one can fake, so that when it matters in the real world, it doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Our PALS course goes deep into the scenarios that matter most, so you’re ready for a genuine range of pediatric emergencies:
Complete a pediatric advanced life support course (PALS) at CNA Training Institute, and a wonderful world of career options is opened. The skills and certification you walk away with are recognized in specialized medical settings, opening doors that a general certification simply doesn’t.
