Important Announcement
Released 02/14/22
We offer limited in-person classes. Following UNMC guidance, all students, instructors, and staff are asked to:
- Self-screen prior to coming in, ideally using the 1-Check COVID mobile app that can evaluate risk and give advice as to what to do based on risk.
- Maintain social distance and wear a mask while on campus. KN95 face masks are still highly recommended but no longer required. Surgical masks are allowed. Cloth masks, gaiters, vented masks, and bandanas still are not approved for use. Students are required to bring their own masks in order to be admitted to class.
- Ensure strict, effective, and frequent hand hygiene.
PALS is a nationally recognized program designed by the American Heart Association (AHA) to aid pediatric health care providers in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently and effectively manage critically ill infants and children.
The material will be covered in small group lectures, demonstrations, evaluation of case-based scenarios, and practice.
