PALS Challenge (Not Available Until 10/01/2017 due to AHA Policy)
This option is intended for veteran, well-prepared, and confident PALS providers who hold valid PALS Provider and BLS for HCP cards on the date of the session.
The student will serve as Team Leader for two Core Cases and perform the hands-on skills appropriate to each case, followed by the PALS Provider written exam.
A thorough review of PALS Provider references (shown below) prior to the challenge session is strongly suggested. It is expected that the student arrives thoroughly prepared to test and be successful. A brief opportunity for review and questions is offered, but no teaching or remediation after testing will be offered. Students who require remediation will be directed to repeat a regular PALS Provider course.
Core Cases and written test will take 1-2 hours to complete, depending upon the number of students attending each session.
Students may request a private evaluation appointment for an additional charge that is not covered by the discount code for RWJ Employees. The date and time will be mutually agreed upon by the student and the RWJ PALS staff.
