This National EMS Week, we proudly celebrate EMS clinicians for the critical, lifesaving care they deliver every day, often in unpredictable, high-pressure environments where expertise, teamwork, and rapid decision-making matter most.
Caring for infants and children in the prehospital setting comes with unique challenges, requiring specialized knowledge and confidence to act quickly when it matters most. In recognition of the vital role EMS professionals play in pediatric care, we’re excited to share that PEPP® (Pediatric Education for Prehospital Professionals®), 5th Edition, developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, is launching this September.
The updated edition builds on a trusted foundation, offering the latest evidence-based guidance and practical training to help EMS clinicians provide high-quality pediatric care in the field.
As we honor EMS Week, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting EMS professionals with education designed for the realities of their practice, helping strengthen skills, preparedness, and outcomes for children and families when every second counts.
