EMI Introduces Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition, and
Stabilization (PEARS) Course
PEARS is for any healthcare provider who might encounter pediatric
patients in their profession.
It is an intermediate course to equip healthcare providers to
recognize and begin stabilization of the pediatric victim prior to a
respiratory or cardiac arrest, in an interactive environment.
PEARS
prepares students to assess, categorize, decide and act early to
stabilize the child. The main focus of PEARS is prevention, and
specifically the assessment, recognition and stabilization of
pediatric victims at risk of severe cardiopulmonary distress.
Sign-up now for the March 1st class.
