Abstract

This study was conducted to assess parents' understanding of Pediatric Emergency Medicine and the roles of different providers in a pediatric emergency department. Parents were surveyed regarding these subjects and given a sheet explaining provider roles. Of 102 questionnaires completed, 82% of questions on attending roles were answered correctly and 70% of questions about pediatric emergency medicine were answered correctly. Ninety percent of parents felt the information sheet made understanding provider roles easier. Many parents were informed regarding emergency department provider roles. Certain aspects of these roles and the practice of pediatric emergency department are less well understood. An informational sheet can help educate parents about provider roles and the practice of pediatric emergency medicine.
