OVERALL LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of the PERC 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting, participants will be able to:

  • Foster national research collaboration to address key questions in
    support of pediatric emergency medicine. This includes identifying and
    engaging with potential research partners, understanding the current
    landscape of pediatric emergency medicine research, and formulating
    strategies to address pressing research questions collaboratively.

  • Disseminate knowledge to advance evidence-based practice in pediatric
    emergency medicine. Participants will learn effective methods for
    sharing research findings and clinical best practices, both within their
    own networks and to a broader audience. This includes leveraging
    various platforms and tools for knowledge dissemination and
    understanding how to translate research findings into practical
    applications.

  • Develop cohesiveness and community between centres involved in the
    practice of pediatric emergency medicine. This objective focuses on
    building strong, collaborative relationships among different centres and
