At Newcastle Training Centers, we prepare healthcare professionals to recognize and respond confidently when infants and children experience acute illness or injury. Our instructor-led American Heart Association (AHA) Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition, and Stabilization (PEARS) Courses are taught by experienced emergency medical professionals who bring real-world pediatric and emergency care expertise into every class.
Through high-performance, team-based training and realistic pediatric emergency scenarios, participants develop the assessment, communication, critical thinking, and clinical decision-making skills needed to rapidly evaluate pediatric patients, recognize signs of deterioration, and initiate appropriate interventions for respiratory, circulatory, and cardiopulmonary emergencies.
In our supportive, low-stress learning environment, healthcare providers build the confidence and competence needed to identify life-threatening conditions early, stabilize critically ill pediatric patients, and effectively contribute as members of a coordinated healthcare team—helping improve outcomes for infants and children when it matters most.
Newcastle Training Centers provides PEARS (Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition, and Stabilization) training throughout the Greater Seattle and Western Washington region. Our courses are designed for healthcare professionals seeking convenient access to pediatric emergency training and certification.
We serve learners from Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Everett and communities throughout the Puget Sound area. PEARS classes are available on-site nationally or at our designated Tacoma training classroom near MulitCare Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital.
The AHA Pediatric Emergency Assessment Recognition and Stabilization training teaches medical providers the necessary skills needed for emergency medical care of critically ill children and infants.
Our PEARS course is ideal for physicians, nurses, EMTs, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and other healthcare providers who work in settings where they care for children and infants. We emphasize teamwork among care teams for optimal outcomes, and debriefing as a team after an emergency response.
The PEARS training will teach medical providers how to recognize respiratory distress, shock and cardiac arrest. Our course will focus on the recognition of these critical illnesses and how to provide appropriate lifesaving interventions quickly and efficiently, until the child is stabilized and transferred to an advanced life support provider. Rapid response to life threatening illnesses can make all the difference.
Our goal of PEARS training is to give medical providers life saving skills, to improve the quality of care provided to seriously ill or injured children and infants, resulting in improved outcomes. Our class format includes classroom lecture, small group learning stations, practical skills testing and a written exam.
Prior to taking the PEARS course, it is strongly recommended that students first complete the BLS training for children and infants and are proficient with their skills in CPR and automated external defibrillator, AED, use.
Students who successfully complete the PEARS training will an AHA PEARS provider course completion card, valid for 2 years.
