title: Training clinicians to care for children in emergency departments.
abstract: Children account for 22% of presentations to Emergency Departments in Australia, the majority presenting to mixed departments. A diverse group of clinicians looks after these children. In this review, we examine the different techniques and approaches to implementing education curricula and professional development within these emergency departments with a particular focus on bedside teaching, professional coaching, skills maintenance, e-learning and simulation.
