OBJECTIVES To describe the quality of pediatric resuscitative care in general emergency departments (GEDs) and to determine hospital-level factors associated with higher quality. METHODS Prospective observational study provided 3 situ simulated patients (infant seizure, infant sepsis, child cardiac arrest) by interprofessional GED teams. A composite score (CQS) was measured association this modifiable nonmodifiable explored. RESULTS median CQS 62.8 100 (interquartile range 50.5–71.1) noted...
Abstract Background Simulation provides consistent opportunities for residents to practice high‐stakes, low‐frequency events such as pediatric resuscitations. To increase standardization across North American residency programs, the Emergency Medicine Resident Curriculum Pediatrics (EM ReSCu Peds) was developed. However, access high‐quality simulation/pediatric expertise is not uniform. As concurrent COVID‐19 pandemic necessitated new virtual simulation methods, we adapted Virtual Resus Room...
Continuing professional development (CPD) activities delivered by simulation to independently practicing physicians are becoming increasingly popular. At present, the educational potential of such simulations is limited inability create effective curricula for CPD audience. In contrast medical trainees, lack pre-defined learning expectations and, instead, emphasize self-directed learning, which may not encompass true needs. We hypothesize that we could generate an interprofessional...

Abstract Objectives Emergency department (ED) healthcare providers (HCPs) frequently describe a lack of knowledge in caring for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Our primary objective is to explore gaps training clinical exposure reported by ED HCPs ASD/NDD. Methods A two-phase, mixed-methods cross-sectional study was conducted. In phase 1, an interprofessional sample tertiary care paediatric (physicians, nurses, social workers,...
