PEDIATRIC EDUCATION FOR PREHOSPITAL PROFESSIONALS (PEPP) 8.0 Continuing Education Credits (Elective)

Pediatric Education for Prehospital Professionals (PEPP) is a one-day educational program developed specifically for BLS providers by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The program specifically addresses the following areas:

pediatric assessment
management of pediatric respiratory, cardiovascular, and medical emergencies
management of pediatric trauma
emergency delivery and newborn stabilization
children with special healthcare needs
SIDS
child maltreatment
medicolegal considerations

This program mixes video footage and lectures with hands-on skills to provide the student with a well-rounded understanding of the management of the pediatric patient.

In developing the PEPP course recommendations, the National PEPP Steering Committee carefully reviewed the most current data on the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of pediatric prehospital interventions. Where scientific research is not definitive, the recommendations derive from expert opinion and clinical experience in hospitals, emergency departments, and pediatric ambulatory setting. The PEPP Course emphasizes careful assessment and BLS care, and supports prudent use of ALS interventions.

The PEPP Course is a dynamic teaching tool that will be subject to ongoing review and modification, in concert with changes in the science of emergency pediatrics and advances in EMS educational design and methodology.

All courses 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
