Pediatric Emergency Medicine Courses

The Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine through the Montreal听Children's Hospitals offers two courses:

1. Pediatric Emergency Medicine Critical Scenarios and Interventions (PEM-CSI)
   Objectives:
   • Perform pediatric critical surgical airway interventions and advanced intubation techniques
   • Demonstrate pediatric acute care-based Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) skills
   • Describe pivotal new Pediatric Emergency Medicine studies relevant to the acutely and critically ill pediatric population
   • Apply advanced airway skills to the management of acutely and critically ill children as part of an intraprofessional team in a simulated setting
2. Pediatrics Advanced Life Support (PALS)
   Designed to aid the pediatric healthcare provider in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently evaluate and effectively manage seriously ill infants and children. In this course, you will learn:
   • How to assess for evidence of respiratory and circulatory compromise.
   • Establish treatment priorities and intervene when necessary to stabilize the child.
   • Students will also review treatment of the respiratory and circulatory systems, management of cardiac arrest and arrhythmias and immediate post-resuscitation care.
