New York Medical College is one of four organizations to receive 2020 training grants from The Children's Dream Foundation, an organization working to advance pediatric emergency medicine in New York's Hudson Valley region, during a very competitive grant cycle. The grant will allow the Clinical Skills and Simulation Center to purchase a family of Pediatric Emergency Airway Management Task Trainers (teenager, adolescent, infant and difficult airway) to train for pediatric intubation and airway management.
