COURSE DESCRIPTION 

Through didactic lectures and interactive sessions, the presentation and management of 

pediatric patients with medical and surgical emergencies will be taught in this intensive 

three-day course. Keynote lectures will focus on the “must knows” of various forms of shock, 

what not to miss in the first 28 days of life, and review the year’s best literature in pediatric 

emergency medicine. Small-group interactive sessions will highlight procedural sedation, 

interpretation of urgent diagnostic radiology, and airway management, including rapid 

sequence intubation and laryngeal mask airways. Hands-on workshops will allow participants 

to practice megacode, ultrasound techniques, advanced simulation, and pediatric procedures 

such as vascular and intraosseous access and bladder tap aspiration. Pediatric surgeons will 

offer individualized teaching on suturing, casting and splinting techniques. 

COURSE OBJECTIVES 

At the conclusion of this program, participants will: 

• Better assess and manage pediatric 

patients with: 

- Shock and DKA 

- Challenging MRSA Infections 

- Head Trauma 

- Orthopedic Emergencies 

- Cardiology Crises 

- Febrile Illnesses 

- Acute Airway and Respiratory 

Illnesses 

TARGET AUDIENCE 

• Emergency medicine physicians seeking to update their pediatric knowledge and skills 

• Pediatricians, pediatric emergency medicine and family physicians 

• Critical care practitioners and hospitalists who care for ill children 

• Physician assistants and nurse practitioners
