The goal of the Pediatric Readiness Education Series is to improve the safety and quality of emergency care for children by strengthening the pediatric readiness of ED teams nationwide. The series provides practical, evidence-based education on high-priority pediatric topics aligned with national Pediatric Readiness priorities. Participants learn actionable strategies and tools from national experts to improve assessment, reassessment, decision-making, and team-based care. Ultimately, the series aims to reduce variability in care and support more consistent, timely, and safer outcomes for children in the ED.
