Objectives to direct the training of emergency medicine residents in pediatric emergency medicine.
This article outlines the objectives for a resident rotation on a pediatric emergency medicine service that is geographically separate from adult-oriented facilities. In this setting, pediatric emergency department care is considered an off service. However, these objectives incorporate key pediatric knowledge and techniques in a practical format for emergency medicine trainees who have no separate pediatric emergency department experience. The content of the pediatric emergency department educational exposure can be attained in a concentrated 2-month exposure at a pediatric facility or extracted throughout the course of multiple pediatric encounters at a general emergency department. These objectives are a part of a continuing series on the goals and objectives to direct emergency medicine resident training on off-service rotations.
