Now in its 8^th year, second as a virtual event, QPEM is again offering a sophisticated, comprehensive conference program building on our previous QPEM objectives of providing a superior offering for health care practitioners in the region and internationally.  We have assembled a local faculty of highly accomplished and well-published academic and administrative experts who are regular presenters at regional and international conferences. Regional and international speakers have been selectively chosen to contribute to the scientific program, which will present best evidence for the investigation and management of common and critical pediatric medical and traumatic emergencies.  With topics that range from pediatric trauma, procedural sedation, infectious diseases, pain management, surgical emergencies, respiratory emergencies, toxic exposures and more, this high-quality conference has something for everyone who is involved in the care of acutely ill or injured children. In addition to the exciting plenary sessions, there are select tracks to attend, covering Research and Academic PEM, Quality and Patient Safety, as well as focused coverage on medical, toxicologic, surgical and traumatic presentations in our Core PEM Track. At the end of the conference, our multidisciplinary participants will have expanded knowledge on a variety of key topics; be able to recognize and manage common yet potentially serious conditions; will have improved critical thinking; be able to discuss research in PEM; and will incorporate quality and patient safety goals into practice.  Please join us for another exciting year at QPEM!
