We are almost two weeks away from the launch of the PECC Workforce Development Collaborative and we have lots in store for you! Over the past several months we have worked with national experts in pediatric emergency medicine and with pediatric champions just like yourself to develop a great program. We're excited to start sharing this with you.
Kickoff Session
The collaborative kickoff session is September 2nd at 1:30 ET/12:30 CT. During this 1-hour session, we will introduce ourselves, go over what to expect from the collaborative and much more. We realize some of you may not be able to attend on this day. The session will be recorded and posted to the PWDC website. Our virtual sessions will be hosted by GlobalCastMD, a virtual conferencing company. You will be sent a link to our PWDC page on their site soon. You will use this same link to join all PWDC virtual sessions and will simply enter the email address that you registered to login.
Intake Questionnaire
We're are looking forward to getting to know each of you a bit better and learn what you hope to get out of this collaborative. To do this, we ask that you complete the intake questionnaire. To avoid having you re-enter any information that you already provided, each of you will receive an individual link to your intake questionnaire by this Friday, Aug 20th.
In case you missed it...
We sat down to talk with Nicole Dambaugh, an EMT-P in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, about her experience as a PECC within her EMS agency. Read Nicole's interview here
