Additional Information About Your PALS Class.
Every 5 years the American Heart Association updates and revises their training materials to reflect the most current science based research. This information is covered in the recertification process. Providers should only attend a PALS renewal class if they have previously completed the full PALS provider course. Students are also encouraged to have a current American Heart Association BLS certification when attending any PALS course. If your PALS provider card is expired, please call our CPR Louisville staff to discuss your options. In certain circumstances, you may be able to attend the PALS renewal class. Your PALS certification must NOT be expired more than 60 days and must have been based on the most current AHA guidelines.
PALS is intended for those who work in emergency departments, pediatric intensive care units, urgent care settings, anesthesia units, acute care areas at children’s hospitals, pediatric surgery departments, pediatric outpatient surgery centers, advanced dentistry, pediatric respiratory therapy departments, some pharmacy departments, and many more. Most employers of these departments require employees to have their PALS certification.
