Pediatric Education For Prehospital Professionals (PEPP) Book

Pediatric Education for Prehospital Professionals, Third Edition is the most comprehensive source of information on emergency medical care for children available. This continuing education program, which set the standard for pediatric care in EMS with the publication of the First Edition, once again transforms pediatric prehospital education with this highly interactive, hybrid course.

Based on the most current medical information and best practices, PEPP, Third Edition covers the critical knowledge and skills needed to rapidly evaluate, stabilize, and transport the pediatric patient. Like previous editions, PEPP offers students an engaging course that expands their knowledge of pediatric core concepts and promotes critical thinking through case-based learning, hands-on skill stations, live-action video, and small group scenarios. New to the PEPP course, the Precourse Online Module allows students to experience true hybrid learning. Now, students prepare in advance, completing the Precourse Online Module before attending the interactive one-day course.
