**CE Expiration Date:** 09/12/2027

**RETURN TO:** [Webinars](https://traumanurses.org/education/archived-webinars)

**DURATION:** 56:21

Rural facilities see Pediatric Trauma infrequently but are expected to respond with confidence. One rural facility experienced pediatric trauma that seemed chaotic and disorganized. Armed with this experience they completed the EMSC pediatric readiness score and noted multiple shortcomings. We will discuss how this facility has transformed pediatric trauma care in its facility with the support, mentorship and virtual education from a regional trauma center.

**Learning Objectives:**

- 80% of participants will identify how EMSC pediatric readiness scores can impact trauma responses
- 80% of participants will describe ways to improve their pediatric readiness using the EMSC tool as a guide

**Members who are logged will be provided with a CE Credit link (below) for the duration of 3 years from the original presentation date (noted above). After 3 years, CE will no longer be made available. Members however are still welcome to watch the presentation independently for non-CE credit.**
