Welcome to PedFACTS Online

This is the web site for PedFACTS, or Pediatric First Aid for Caregivers and Teachers. Developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, PedFACTS is a new national pediatric first aid course.

Caregivers and teachers need to know what to do when a child is injured or becomes suddenly and severely ill. Most injuries that require first aid are not life-threatening. Usually, first aid involves simple, common sense procedures. However, first aid can sometimes mean the difference between life and death. All caregivers and teachers should have pediatric first aid training. The PedFACTS course is designed to give caregivers and teachers the education and confidence that they need to effectively care for children.
