Abstract
This review provides the current status of pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) in Korea. The three aspects of PEM, such as emergency department (ED) preparedness, educational programs, and research achievement in Korea are presented in accordance to the recently published literatures. For the quality of ED preparedness, there is a significant lack of children-dedicated facilities, equipments, and personnels. A national report on the educational programs for resident physicians showed suboptimal quantity and quality of training. Although in recent years we witnessed a fast growing research activity in the PEM field, prospective and large-scale studies are needed to improve the outcome of pediatric patients. The improvement of the three PEM components will play a critical role to establish PEM as a new subspecialty in Korea. This review also presents some policy suggestions to PEM specialists and Korean Society of Pediatric Emergency Medicine (KSPEM) to enhance future perspective. First, two-level EDs with carefully designed regionalization strategy should be established nation-wide. Second, time-sensitive effort to acquire well-prepared intensive care units for critically-ill or injured children is recommended. Third, collaboration with the Government to obtain political and financial support is critically needed to advance PEM in Korea.
