The new scenarios in approaching pediatric emergencies motivated us to propose new specialization programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate advances in clinical practice for critically ill children"

Like other medical specialties and subspecialties, pediatric emergencies have reached a development of progressive specialization in recent years. Physicians working in pediatric emergency care services must be able to provide comprehensive initial care to pediatric patients, basing their actions on the latest scientific evidence.

For this reason knowledge must be constantly updated through programs aimed at reinforcing their functions, both in recognizing and initially resolving the emergency, and in focusing, orienting and correctly directing situations in the face of pathologies that can be delayed.

The specialization of the pediatric emergency department physician should include the updating of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques as airway management, peripheral and central line approach or immobilization of trauma and patients, to ensure rapid and safe care in all pediatric ages. In addition, it should include organizational aspects of pediatric emergency services and the provision of personnel and material, with emphasis on their differential characteristics.

This program offers physicians updated training on the most important Pediatric Emergencies, establishing the keys for critically ill patient care, and the approach to the different diagnostic and treatment techniques of emergency care in the pediatric age.

Scientific evidence increases the quality of medical care. Keeping up to date is key to providing better care to critically ill pediatric patients”
