Adolescent sexual and reproductive health in the ED PEM Currents: The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Podcast

    • Medicine

This episode features three members of the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) Adolescent Sexual Health Working Group. PECARN is a network that performs multicenter research related to the emergency care of children. The Adolescent Sexual Health Working Group is focused on researching topics of interest around sexual and reproductive health in the ED. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing three of the study authors and recorded our conversations, then created a podcast episode that hit on some of the highlights of their incredible work. James Gray also helped me put a blog post together that delves into some of the topics in a bit more in depth fashion.







This episode features the contributions of:







Melissa Miller, MDAssociate Professor of PediatricsDivision of Emergency MedicineChildren’s Mercy Hospital Kansas City







Lauren Chernick, MD, MScAssistant Professor of Pediatrics in Emergency MedicineColumbia University Medical Center







Erin Hoehn, MDAssistant Professor of PediatricsDivision of Emergency MedicineChildren’s Hospital of Pittsburgh
