Why PALS Renewal is Essential for Healthcare Professionals

Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification is a critical credential for healthcare professionals who treat infants and children in emergency situations. However, PALS certification is only valid for two years, meaning that professionals must renew their certification to stay compliant with American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines and maintain their ability to provide high-quality pediatric emergency care.

At Chicago’s Pulse, we offer AHA-certified PALS renewal courses designed to refresh your knowledge, reinforce life-saving skills, and update you on the latest resuscitation protocols for pediatric patients.

Who Needs PALS Renewal?

PALS certification renewal is required for healthcare professionals who work with critically ill or injured infants and children in emergency or intensive care settings, including:

• Pediatricians & Emergency Room Physicians

• Nurses (RNs, LPNs) & Nurse Practitioners

• Paramedics & EMTs

• Respiratory Therapists

• Anesthesiologists

• Medical Students & Residents

If your PALS certification is close to expiration, enrolling in a renewal course will ensure you remain compliant and fully prepared to manage pediatric emergencies.
