CDF Grants

Training

simjunior-simulationTraining for emergencies saves lives. CDF provides grants to hospitals to purchase pediatric simulators – high-tech portable manikins – to meet the training needs and certification requirements of emergency health professionals. Training simulators allow students, guided by an instructor, to be presented with a complex medical situation which will involve rapid assessment and treatment. Pediatric simulators are an invaluable resource for EMTs, firefighters and other first-responders as well to help train for child emergencies.
