Pediatric Emergency Medicine Curricula for Emergency Medicine Residents

摘要

We have reviewed "Defining a Focused Pediatric Emergency Medicine Curriculum for Emergency Medicine Residents: A Case Study at Michigan Medicine" by Ponce and Wolff published in AEM Education and Learning online on April 16, 2020. We congratulate the authors on this important contribution to resident education. We recognize that it is crucial for optimal health outcomes that emergency medicine (EM) residents be thoroughly trained to care for pediatric patients, because over 85% of the 36 million children accessing emergency care in the United States each year do so in general emergency departments (EDs). 1However, there is variability in exposure to pediatric emergencies during residency, and opportunities to manage critically ill children are even more limited.
