Pediatric Emergency Care, a CRPC regional education event for healthcare providers, will be held on Saturday, February 6, 2010, at Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville. CLASS FILLED; REGISTRATION CLOSED.
Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt serves as a regional referral center for the specialized care of pediatric patients. It is the only hospital in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky dedicated solely to the care of acutely and chronically ill children.

This is the highest level of certification for pediatric care in Tennessee.
As a CRPC, Children's Hospital works with referral hospitals in Middle Tennessee to improve pediatric emergency care through the following:
- Establishing pediatric transfer and educational agreements with referral hospitals
- Providing pediatric educational opportunities for healthcare providers
- Monitoring pediatric patient outcomes and implementing quality improvement programs to further improve pediatric care
