Vaccination Policy

Heart & Stroke strongly recommends that all resuscitation instructors and their students be fully vaccinated in order to create the safest possible teaching and learning environment. Heart & Stroke requires that each credentialled instructor create and implement their own COVID-19 vaccination policy and make it easily accessible to students prior to course registration to help students make an informed decision about their resuscitation education.

Are you a healthcare provider who’s new to Heart & Stroke’s PALS courses or who doesn’t use your PALS skills or knowledge often? Then our PALS Provider course is for you.

Our PALS Provider course will help you to develop individual skills – as a member of a healthcare team – in simulated real-life situations that mirror your work life in which you’ll need to recognize and respond to cardiopulmonary arrests or other cardiovascular emergencies involving pediatric patients.

These simulations will involve high-quality CPR, high-performance team dynamics and communication, and a systematic approach to pediatric assessment that includes the evaluate-identify-intervene sequence. You will be able to reinforce concepts, undertake skills practice, receive coaching and correction, and refine your abilities before final testing.

This course is offered in two learning formats: the more traditional classroom-based teaching led by one of our instructors; or the blended learning format in which you delve into parts of the curriculum on your own time and at your own pace and then take the instructor-led, in-classroom component when you’re ready. You can choose the format that suits your learning style best.

What you’re expected to know before taking this course

For you to achieve the best possible learning outcomes from our PALS Provider course, you will need to possess clinical skills, knowledge and proficiency in:

High-quality BLS
Recognition of common pediatric cardiac ECG rhythms
Effective airway management and use of adjuncts

Practical management of complex cases
