How, where, when and why should we be training our EMS clinicians to take care of tiny humans? Look no further for the answers, as we have subject matter expert Stephanie Ashford, Division Chief of Clinical Practice at the Saint Charles County (MO) Ambulance District.  Stephanie has proven advice on how to successfully integrate pediatric readiness and skills training for your agency.  Tiny humans are sometimes terrifying (smaller parts, requires math, etc.), and Stephanie's experience teaches us how to implement Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice as well as other mantras such as "Pause, Prescribe, Replay" so that we are basing our training on proven research.
