Purpose of the review Over the past four decades, pediatric emergency Medicine (PEM) has witnessed significant global development, with a notable increase in training programs and official recognition by regulatory bodies. However, disparities persist in the recognition of PEM as an independent subspecialty, availability of training programs on a global scale, academic recognition, and the ability to provide high-quality care to children worldwide. There is paucity of published literature regarding development of PEM globally. This review explores the current trends and challenges in international pediatric emergency medicine. Recent findings Current trends in international pediatric emergency medicine encompass the provision of training in pediatric-focused emergency and acute care, increased propagation of evidence-based guidelines specific to the care of children, the growth of collaborative research networks and interest groups within national and international societies. Simultaneously, the field continues to face challenges such as the lack of recognition, inequities in access, and a lack of dissemination of global PEM initiatives. Summary While recent advancements have significantly enhanced the state of international pediatric emergency medicine, including pediatric specific research networks and training programs, barriers still hinder its overall quality. Many of these obstacles are not unique to pediatric emergency medicine but are directly affected by financial disparities and lack of governmental and public recognition of the essential role of pediatric emergency care.
