This important event was a one-day symposium taught by leaders in pediatric emergency medicine and infectious diseases providing the most current information in the field.

More than 300 medical participants, who will treat more than 3000 babies annually, completed surveys at the end of the event showing that not only will they use the information from the event daily, they have an increased level of confidence and competence treating babies.
The day concluded with the PEM Fellow simulation challenge providing an opportunity for 3 PEM Fellow teams to compete for the top spot in various mock emergency situations.
