The Center for Pediatric Emergency Medicine

The Center for Pediatric Emergency Medicine (CPEM) is pleased to announce the release of Child Abuse and Neglect: A Prehospital Continuing Education and Teaching Resource. This CD-ROM, the latest addition to the existing literature available for the education of prehospital providers, is based on a national study of what EMTs and Paramedics know about child abuse and neglect. It is the result of years of research and collaboration on federal, state, and local levels.

The resource is also on our web site for free download, by clicking here. The CD-ROM is available for purchase from CPEM for $10.00.

The Center for Pediatric Emergency Medicine (CPEM) was established in 1985 at New York University Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital Center in New York City. Our goal is to improve emergency medical services for children in the United States through education, research, and systems development. We are very grateful for the funding provided by the US Department of Health and Human Services through its Maternal and Child Health Bureau, EMSC Program, in partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. With their support, we are making great strides in helping others save the lives of children.
