I have tried to download the presentations but am unable to do so. How do I download the presentations?
You should contact your network administrator at your institution since the local web privacy settings might prevent downloads to your system. If you are using a standalone computer, you will need to have Adobe Reader to view the presentations. This softwareis available for free download by clicking here.

I wish to take the course test and need an username and password. How do I obtain a username and password?
The course test is available to training programs free of cost. A demographic data form will need to be completed by the individual at your institution who will serve as the Site Administrator for your facility. Once this completed form is received by SCCM, a log-on and password together with instructions on how to sign up trainees for the exam, will be sent to the Site Administrator.

Can I use these presentations during expert witness testimony, community education projects or Grand Rounds?
These presentations are meant solely for educational purposes for didactic sessions for residents/ medical students as part of a residency training program. The authors have made every effort to provide an accurate representation of current knowledge and practice in the field of Pediatric Critical Care, however, these presentations should not be construed as advice related to patient care issues and are not a substitute for established textbooks.

I am interested in contributing a presentation and/or questions to the website. Where do I send it?
Contributions in the form of Power Point presentations are welcome so long as they meet the criteria of representing a core curriculum topic and will be subject to peer review by members of the resident education committee. Questions should be clinical vignettes with a single correct answer and based on the content of the core curriculum. They can be sent to the committee co-chairs.
