Submissions for the 2021 PEMPix competition will be open in May. Stay tuned for more details soon. And what will the hybrid program for the Section on Emergency Medicine session at the AAP National Conference and Exhibition actually be like? And what does that mean for PEMPix? Will it be online only or in person? I’ll let you know when I do. Nevertheless, get those excellent cases ready!
