Course description & learning objectives
Background: The APEC course is a development of the Paediatric Section at EuSEM, and will be conducted by its faculty members. At the end of the course participants will be presented with certificates of course completion by EuSEM.
Objectives: To provide physicians participating in the course with both knowledge and advanced skills in recognizing and managing a wide spectrum of paediatric emergencies including trauma, both in the hospital and pre-hospital settings.General Outline: A two-day course.
During the morning hours of both days, lectures will be presented on the management of a wide spectrum of paediatric emergencies (including trauma) with emphasis on evidence-based literature. During the afternoon hours of day 1, students will actively participate (hands-on) in advanced skill stations designed to provide knowledge and skills relevant to paediatric emergency medicine. During the afternoon of day 2, students will participate in small group discussions / cases simulations designed to elicit discussion on the clinical management of common paediatric emergencies including trauma.A full course agenda is provided below.
