Sarmed (Sam) A. -

Hey Al- I'm curious if the mandate for every ED to meet EDAP criteria in New Jersey resulted in fewer pediatric EDs being built. Any idea if that happened ? I share your sentiments about pediatric EDs causing regular ED physicians (in standard departments) to grow less comfortable with pediatrics . But I'm not clear how to help stem the tide of pediatric EDs in my own state. Feels rather hopeless as I hear "it is a fellowship approved by your own board, so why are you against staffing a peds ED with all peds EM physicians? It would not have been approved if it wasn't better than no fellowship at all, right?"
