The goal of the PALS Provider Course is to teach students how to recognize infants and children at risk for cardiopulmonary arrest, to provide students with strategies for preventing cardiopulmonary arrest in infants and children, and to teach students how to perform the cognitive and psychomotor skills for resuscitating and stabilizing infants and children in respiratory failure, shock, or cardiopulmonary arrest. Skills in bag-mask ventilation, management of airway, defibrillation and cardioversion, use of AEDs for children older than 1 year, and rhythm management are emphasized. A modular approach is provided. *A Current BLS card is required to take this course.

The purpose of a PALS Instructor Course is to develop proficiency in teaching, organizing and conducting a provider course. PALS Instructors must have a firm working knowledge of the PALS material. Participants are expected to demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of emergency cardiac care. Currently accepted principles of adult learning, the use of interactive teaching strategies, and the ability to sequence instruction and evaluate progress are essential parts of the course. Participants are required to have a current CPR card, a current PALS Provider card, and have been recognized as having "instructor potential" in a previous PALS Course. The following CPR cards are accepted: American Heart Association - Healthcare Provider (HCP); American Red Cross - CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer. Candidates who are unable to complete the pre-testing will be refunded minus the Core Instructor Course textbook fee.

| EKG & Pharmacology |
|
The American Heart Association's adult ECG & Pharmacology Course presents information on basic electrophysiology, normal ECG measurements, basic arrhymias, basic ACLS drugs, usage and routes of administration during cardiovascular emergencies, and how to integrate basic drug pharmacology into ACLS algorithms. The course is divided into two modules: one for ECG and one for Pharmacology. The course is designed to be instructor-led using large group interaction. Course length is approximately 3.5 hours for the ECG module and approximately 2.75 hours for the Pharmacology module. The course is intended for credentialed healthcare providers. This course can be used as preparation for an ACLS Provider course if the student lacks critical care experience or needs a ECG/Pharm refresher.

| MOCK CODE |
|
Students will be confronted with real world situations in a simulation format to evaluate their knowledge base of Emergency Cardiac Care at every level. This one-hour session will be provided onsite, with hands-on skills, evaluation, in servicing of Crash Carts, Monitor/Defibrillators, and AHA Protocols. Institutions will be debriefed, presented with full report and certificate of completion. Cardiac emergencies have the best outcomes if your staff members are well practiced and comfortable under very stressful situations. MOCK Codes are highly effective, motivational team builders and worth every minute. We will work around your office schedule so not to disturb your patient flow.
