The OHSU Pediatric Emergency Services (PES) is open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week. The PES is staffed by pediatric- experienced, emergency medicine board eligible or certified physicians who maintain pediatric emergency CME. The PES is guided by six pediatric emergency physicians who have appointments in the Department of Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics (Jo Su, M.D., Chief; David Spiro, M.D, M.P.H., Medical Director, Garth Meckler, M.D., M.S.P.H, Robert Cloutier, M.D.; and Craig R. Warden, M.D., M.P.H.), as well as pediatric-experienced, board-certified emergency physicians who maintain pediatric emergency credentials.

Nurses in the ED are PALS-certified (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) and have taken the Emergency Nursing Association's Emergency Nursing Pediatric Course. We provide continuing education for our Pediatric Nurses who staff the ED on a monthly basis which is coordinated with our educational experience for the residents including a monthly pediatric simulation.
