COVID-19: the effects on the practice of pediatric emergency medicine.
An informal survey of 65 pediatric emergency department leaders in North America-from 30 U. S. states and 4 Canadian provinces-revealed changes in operations, infrastructure, staffing, and clinical care that were undertaken as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. ⋯ Survey respondents also reported effects of the pandemic on academic training programs and provider wellness. This report uses the survey responses to provide a snapshot of the adaptability of pediatric emergency medicine departments and clinicians during a public health emergency.
