Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition and Stabilization (PEARS) Course Description

Advanced Care Training, LLC

This course addresses a gap in the

number of healthcare providers who see

pediatric patients, and do not require the

advanced skills of PALS.

The main focus of PEARS is prevention,

and specifically, the assessment,

recognition and stabilization of pediatric

victims at risk of severe cardiopulmonary

distress. Through unique learning tools,

such as video-based simulation, providers

can see and hear critically ill children with

whom they do not typically come in

contact, equipping them to recognize the

symptoms of pediatric victims, and thus

begin stabilization prior to arrest.

The course is video-based with instructorled

discussion and simulation. Students

participate in, practice and complete

various skills and learning stations.
