Pediatric Emergency Care Project

Pediatric "Code" situations and acute emergencies are less common and thus offer less opportunity for real-world practice for residents prior to graduating from residency. The Pediatric Emergency Care Project (PECP) is a hands-on curriculum based on regular practice acute emergency scenarios that are intended to refresh residents' understanding, knowledge, and leadership skills for these situations in the Emergency Department.

Each practice session is accompanied by a short, focused list of directed readings and practice questions on important topics in Pediatric Emergency Medicine. These sessions are conducted in a relaxed way, where residents are encouraged to ask any question or practice any procedure regarding the case.

This curriculum is supplemental to our strong tradition of pediatrics training in the Emergency Department at Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo (WCHOB). Medical students rotating in emergency medicine or who are interested in a career in emergency medicine are welcome and encouraged to attend these practice sessions as well.
