The 2-hour megacode skills portion of the PALS certification is required after completing the online RQI PALS training. 

Each RQI PALS assignment contains an online cognitive training and a hands-on megacode skills training. The online training is assigned using the LMS platform.  The megacode skills assessments are held in-person in the Education Training Room.  Megacode skills are required every 2 years for PALS.

The PALS certification is now administered using Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI).  RQI Information

With the implementation of RQI, care team members will no longer need to complete a lengthy online assignment every two years to receive certification. Users will be automatically assigned quarterly assignments in the Learning Management System (LMS).   

Each RQI assignment contains a cognitive portion and a hands on skills portion. Cognitive portions can be completed at any computer using LMS, however skills assessments will continue to be held in-person in the Education Training Room.  Megacode skills will be required every 2 years for PALS.

PLEASE NOTE:  If your certification is expiring and you have not received your LMS assignment, please contact the Clinical Education Department.
