Professional Development for EMSC

We are dedicated to helping EMSC Program Managers and Project Directors build knowledge, strengthen skills, and apply evidence-based practices that support pediatric readiness, program improvement, and effective leadership within their states and territories. Since 2000, the EDC has provided professional development opportunities designed to support the evolving needs of EMSC programs and the broader pediatric emergency care community.

Professional development opportunities cover a broad range of topics, including pediatric readiness, data interpretation, quality improvement, assessment activities, leadership, facilitation, strategic planning, and other skills that support successful EMSC programs.

The EDC currently offers professional development through Workshops and TechTalks, providing both synchronous and asynchronous virtual opportunities for learning, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.

Workshops

Regularly, EDC staff host free virtual and/or in-person data and performance measure-related workshops for EMSC Program Managers and Project Directors, and EMS Data Managers. 

Our virtual workshops vary in length, depending on the topic. In all our workshops we strive to provide a fun and interactive environment for learning. The topics vary from year-to-year according to the needs of our grantees and the EMSC Program priorities.

Our experienced and professional staff will help you meet your EMSC goals and objectives from performance measures  to collection, analysis, and usage of EMSC data.

TechTalks

TechTalks are brief, virtual learning sessions that provide timely, practical information for EMSC Program Managers and Project Directors.

Topics include readiness initiatives, technical assistance, quality improvement, data and performance measures, and other emerging priorities across the EMSC community.

Designed to support the evolving needs of EMSC programs, TechTalks help participants discover new resources, learn promising practices, and gain insights they can apply in their programs and organizations. 

Explore past TechTalk recordings, educational resources, and shared expertise from across the EMSC community.
