Care Team Competencies
This section helps clinicians build and sustain the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to safely and effectively care for pediatric patients across a wide range of clinical scenarios.
Why it matters: Pediatric emergencies are often high-risk and low-frequency, increasing the need for ongoing education and skill reinforcement.
Key focus areas: Education, simulation, competency validation.
Who to engage: Pediatric emergency care coordinators (PECCs), nurse educators, professional practice or competency committees, and medical education leadership.
Getting started: Assess current pediatric training, identify priority gaps, and integrate pediatric content into existing education.
