Pediatric Education and Advocacy Kits Available for EMS and ED Clinicians

Maryland EMS for Children is sharing the link to a set of five online pediatric education and advocacy kits (PEAK) as resources for EMS and emergency department clinicians.

On October 4, 2023, the National EMSC Innovation and Improvement Center, released the latest PEAK, which focuses on Child Abuse. It provides resources for hospital and prehospital-based practitioners, in partnership with patients and families, to support children and youth with suspected physical abuse. The kit includes the TEN4-FACESp infographic, screening tool, and a brief video summarizing the research behind the development of this tool. The PEAK also features links to resources for families, prevention programs, clinical guidelines and simulations, and educational podcasts.
