21. Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation PEM Physicians... Specialize in the care of acutely ill or injured children and teens Treat a wide range of medical emergencies that require immediate attention and are often life threatening Meet the unique medical needs of children, including giving medications and using equipment in specific ways Diagnose problems in distressed, uncooperative children
