Overview

This course presents the state of the art in Pediatric Emergency Medicine by faculty of the Boston Children’s Hospital’s Division of Emergency Medicine. The goal of this course is to engage clinicians practicing pediatric emergency medicine, including emergency physicians, acute care pediatricians, emergency medicine residents, pediatric emergency medicine fellows, physician assistants and licensed nurse practitioners. Nationally recognized faculty will virtually deliver didactic presentations, facilitate small group interactive case discussions, and run simulations of acute cases and virtual emergency medicine procedure training.

Course Format
Presented online via Zoom, this course is designed to optimize virtual interactions between faculty and participants and facilitate interactive discussions. Evidence-based practices will be presented for essential common and critical conditions related to the care of children. In addition, the simulation sessions will teach important clinical and procedural skills in the management of acutely ill children.
