Pediatric Emergency Medicine Conference: Disaster Preparedness: Facing the Unthinkable

Miami, FL US
May 8, 2018

Pediatric disaster preparedness education is crucial to help ensure the rapid triage and emergency management of children as patients in a natural, manmade, or terrorist-initiated disaster. Pediatricians have a unique responsibility to facilitate continuous improvement in pediatric disaster preparedness.  There are many nuances that exist around children and disasters that make the acute response dramatically different from adults. Join us as Dr. Joan E. Shook speaks on lessons learned about disaster preparedness and response from disasters like hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike and Harvey and the 2009 influenza pandemics. Dr. Shook will help attendees identify potential risks to pediatric patients following a disaster and present an organized approach to disaster preparedness using the Department of Homeland Security response framework.

Target Audience

Pediatricians, Internists, Hospitalists, Pediatric Emergency Medicine Physicians, Emergency Medicine Physicians, Physician Assistants, ARNPs, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists and related members of the hospital care team.
