If an associate has expired more than 6 months, it is recommended he/she take the entire 2-day course.

There are condensed instructional materials specific to the course distributed to the class the day of the course. CMS has copies of this folder if an associate requests it ahead of the course for review. It is NOT necessary to review the instructional materials ahead of the course in order to pass the test.
PLEASE remember to fax us a copy of your updated and signed ACLS card, both front and back, to keep in your file.
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
The following PALS course is available through the Hopkins Outreach for Pediatric Education (HOPE) program through the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. Click here to download a brochure with class dates, locations and times.
Pediatric Advanced Life Support Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), developed by the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, focuses on critical issues in pediatric resuscitation for healthcare providers. There is a very clear emphasis on priorities in assessment and management of the ill or injured child. The practical application of cognitive and psychomotor skills in pediatric resuscitation situations are emphasized in case presentations, PALS instructors, representing multidisciplinary specialties, with expertise in the care of children will present information in a lively and "user friendly" format. Participants in the PALS course will have an opportunity to practice emergency techniques such as intraosseous needle insertion, ventilating a child with a bag valve mask, intubation, umbilical line insertion and cardioversion/defibrillation of a child.
