Pediatric Readiness Education Series
Pediatric Readiness Education Series is a free, national webinar series delivered as a collaboration between the EIIC and the Texas Pediatric Readiness Education Series. Building on the success of the Texas-led series, this co-effort expands the reach of Pediatric Readiness education while aligning content with national Pediatric Readiness priorities.
The monthly sessions will focus on common clinical conditions and experiences in the emergency department (ED) setting and are designed for ED clinicians and staff across disciplines, including nurses, physicians, advanced practice providers, administrators, and Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinators (PECCs). EMS clinicians are also welcome to attend.
All webinars are free. The series is not affiliated with the Texas EMSC State Partnership Program. Participation is currently limited to the first 1,000 attendees. If you are unable to attend, the event will be recorded.
In support of improving patient care, Children’s National Hospital is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team. Children’s National Hospital Accreditation Provider# 4008362.
