HeartCode PALS

HeartCode® PALS is an online comprehensive eLearning program that uses eSimulation technology to allow participants to assess and treat patients in virtual healthcare settings. In this environment, participants apply their knowledge to real-time decision-making and skills development.

To enter the course, participants must complete the PALS Precourse Self-Assessment. Participants are then presented with 12 patient cases and a team dynamics lesson. Cases may be repeated as many times as necessary to pass. Upon successful completion of all the patient cases, participants must pass the multiple-choice exam with a minimum score of 84%.

Participants who successfully complete the online portion of the course receive a certificate granting them access to a PALS Hands-on Session with an AHA PALS Instructor. Students must successfully complete both the online portion and the hands-on session to receive a PALS Provider course completion card.

Cost: $250.00 (includes online course link/ key, skills check, and AHA card)
