Who Should Take This

Who Needs PALS

PALS is required for pediatric nurses, pediatricians, pediatric ED and ICU staff, NICU and PICU staff, pediatric dentists, pediatric anesthesia providers, school nurses, transport team members, and many urgent-care clinicians who see children regularly. It is typically required alongside a current BLS card. Most providers renew PALS every two years.
