背景。虽然已经确定了院前提供者初步教育的儿科具体目标，但尚未确定这些目标的统一实施和院前提供者所需儿科继续教育（CE）小时数的指导方针。目标。检查院前提供者在初始认证和重新认证期间接受的儿科专门教育的内容和小时数。第二，确定实施院前提供者儿科教育的具体要求的障碍。方法。电子调查发送给55名儿童EMS （EMSC）州合作项目受助项目经理，询问院前服务提供者的认证和再认证过程以及在每个辖区接受儿科培训的障碍。结果。我们的调查有91%的回复率。与初始认证（41%）相比，在更多的州和地区（63-67%）存在规定的儿科教育时数进行重新认证。资金、时间、教师和可及性方面的限制是加强儿科教育的障碍。结论。修改全州院前教育政策和增加实践培训可能克服已确定的障碍。
Background. Although pediatric-specific objectives for the initial education of prehospital providers have been established, uniform implementation of these objectives and guidelines for hours of required pediatric continuing education (CE) for prehospital providers have not been established. Objectives. To examine the content and number of hours of pediatric-specific education that prehospital providers receive during initial certification and recertification. Second, to identify barriers to implementing specific requirements for pediatric education of prehospital providers. Methods. Electronic surveys were sent to 55 EMS for Children (EMSC) State Partnership grantee program managers inquiring about the certification and recertification processes of prehospital providers and barriers to receiving pediatric training in each jurisdiction. Results. We had a 91% response rate for our survey. Specified pediatric education hours exist in more states and territories for recertification (63-67%) than initial certification (41%). Limitations in funding, time, instructors, and accessibility are barriers to enhancing pediatric education. Conclusions. Modifying statewide policies on prehospital education and increasing hands-on training may overcome identified barriers.
