Pediatric Emergency Management

Here you can find resources and references related to the Iréal Johnson's Emergency Management track project (2011) under the guidance of Dr. Bruno Petinaux, MD.

For this project, I spent the first half of my summer doing literary research in order to inform myself on the basics of emergency management as well as the unique characteristics and needs of pediatric patients during emergencies.

I then created a transcript based on my research and finally compiled over 500 still photographs to create an informative animation as an "Introduction to Pediatric Emergency Management."
