About Pedi-Ed-Trics

 

Our Why

Pedi-Ed-Trics, originally founded as Peds-R-Us, has always had one mission...to help save the lives of children. We strive to provide humorous and easy to remember pediatric emergency information during our medical seminars and skill labs designed for physicians, nurses, medics, and respiratory therapists. Our hope is that the medical professionals attending our classes will leave with an arsenal of useful peds information that can be recalled and applied quickly in high stress situations… Ultimately, reducing errors and saving tiny lives.

Our Story

Pedi-Ed-Trics Emergency Medical Solutions, LLC, originally Peds-R-Us Medical Education, was founded by Scott L. DeBoer, a nurse with over twenty-five years of transport experience and his wife Lisa, a former medic. After working in intensive care units, emergency departments, and flight programs for many years, Scott decided to focus his energy on education, and started a seminar company solely dedicated to "teaching better ways to care for kids." Lisa DeBoer is the acting President of Pedi-Ed-Trics and utilizes her previous background as an EMS director of public relations and marketing manager to coordinate all operational efforts. Scott has served as a former flight nurse educator with a major Chicago area medical center and is our most requested lecturer.

Fun fact: Scott and Lisa have both appeared on the television show E.R. in its first season back in 1995.

Scott and Lisa have been married for over 20 years, and have two teenage children. Since its founding in 1996, they have managed to grow Pedi-Ed-Trics into the largest Pediatric Emergency Medical Education company in the United States.
