APLS: The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Course is designed to provide a core knowledge in pediatric emergency medicine for health care providers. This course provides physicians, nurses, paramedics, dentists, respiratory therapists, and other allied health providers the information necessary to assess and manage critically ill or injured children during the first hours in the emergency department. This course goes beyond basic resuscitation and is designed to meet the advanced skills and knowledge levels of the physician dealing with serious pediatric diseases and problems in an emergency setting.
APLS is a two-day course providing a detailed survey on the evaluation and management of pediatric medical and surgical emergencies. The course content is primarily oriented toward emergency diagnosis and response. APLS is much more than just a course, it is an educational "tool kit" that has helped thousands of emergency physicians and pediatricians to improve the quality of care they provide to infants and children with emergency conditions.
