Friday, October 30, 2026, 8:30 AM - 2:05 PM CT, Samis Education Center, Oklahoma City, OK

The purpose of this activity is to enhance the knowledge, competence, and performance of healthcare professionals involved in the care of pediatric trauma patients through evidence-based education and expert-led discussion of current pediatric trauma practices.

As Oklahoma Children's Hospital is the state's only Level I Pediatric Trauma Center, many healthcare professionals throughout Oklahoma have limited exposure to pediatric trauma patients. This conference is designed to address educational needs related to the evaluation, stabilization, management, and transfer of injured children, while providing updates on emerging concepts and current evidence-based recommendations in pediatric trauma care.

The target audience includes physicians, nurses, residents, students, prehospital providers (EMS), respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of pediatric trauma patients.

1. Identify challenges in the care of pediatric trauma patients and implement appropriate practice changes to improve patient outcomes.
2. Describe emerging concepts in pediatric trauma critical care and their implications for clinical decision-making.
3. Explain current evidence-based approaches to pediatric traumatic brain injury and concussion management.
4. Apply current evidence-based guidelines and recommendations in the evaluation and initial management of pediatric trauma patients.
5. Demonstrate effective interprofessional communication and coordination in pediatric trauma care to support timely recognition, stabilization, and transfer of injured children.
