Comparative StudyEvaluation of a novel Web-based pediatric advanced life support course.
To assess the educational efficacy of a Web-based pediatric advanced life support course (Web-PALS). ⋯ Students perceive Web-PALS as a positive educational experience. Though not identical to students taking the Trad-PALS course, they performed well on postcourse cognitive and psychomotor testing. These findings support Web-PALS as an acceptable format for administering the PALS course.
