Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition, and Stabilization (PEARS)

Edina, MN US
March 23, 2022

Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition, and Stabilization (PEARS) was developed by the American Heart Association (AHA) and is intended for health care providers who infrequently see critically ill children or any healthcare provider who might encounter pediatric patients. PEARS focus on prevention, specifically the assessment, recognition and stabilization of pediatric patients at risk of severe cardiopulmonary distress. 

On the Register tab, you also have the option to add BLS software to your purchase and complete the skills check within the PEARS class to obtain both PEARS and BLS certifications. 

In order to receive a full refund, you must cancel two weeks prior to the session date. All cancelations made within two weeks of the session date will receive a 75% refund. If the BLS online software was purchased through Children's MN, a refund for the cost of the software can only be granted if the software has not been accessed.

Venue Details:

  • Visitors and employees should utilize the parking ramp at the bottom of the hill when they arrive. Parking up top is reserved for visitors but often fills up fast on certain days. We try to keep that area open for vising Foundation donors and committee meeting attendees or visitors/employees needing special accommodation due to physical limitations or injury.
  • Enter through the lower level employee entrance across from the parking ramp. For visitors who do not have badge access, pick up the phone just inside the doors and let Security know you are there for the Sim Center. All employees have badge access to this door. 
  • Most classes will meet in the Improve classrooms on the left as you enter the lower level of the CBC employee entrance. The Sim Center is located to the right on this floor. While visiting the Sim Center, please refrain from wandering outside of the immediate simulation area unless accompanied by a Sim Center or ERTC staff member. 
  • Please plan to arrive early for temperature checks. A thermometer is available at the entryway desk. 
  • A refrigerator will be available to store your lunch if you bring it, the cafeteria is currently closed.
