EMS
We recognize that first responders are a critical part of the emergency care our pediatric patients receive. In order to help obtain the best outcomes, we have a range of training and education programs designed specifically for pediatric emergency service providers and first responders in our 20-country region. We strive to provide exceptional educational training to those who care for children in emergency situations.
Contact the EMS coordinator at either main campus or south campus for EMS educational offerings or to schedule a training for your staff.
