Can you describe your organization and the position you hold within it? How long have you specialized in (or been involved with) pediatric EMS education?
I am the Program Coordinator for the CT EMS for Children State Partnership. I have been in this role 2 years. I am an EMT, RN, and EMS Instructor as well. Overall, I have been providing pediatric specific education for 6 years.
What needs, if any, led you to initially consider PEPP for pediatric training?
There were local needs in Connecticut for instructors. I was asked to become an instructor due to my passion for kids and improving other providers’ comfort levels with caring for kids. I have taken the course previously as a provider and valued all the information that I gained in improving my comfort in caring for kids.
