Thomas Conway - EMS & FIRE PRO Expo + Conference

Thomas Conway DO, FAAP

Pediatric Emergency Medicine Attending; Director, Pediatric Emergency Medicine Simulation
Cohen Children's Medical Center
Queens, NY

Dr. Thomas Conway is a dual board-certified pediatric emergency medicine physician at Cohen Children’s Medical Center and serves as the Director of Pediatric Emergency Medicine Simulation at Northwell Health. He completed his pediatric residency at NYU Winthrop Hospital, followed by a fellowship in Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Cohen Children’s Medical Center.

In his current role, Dr. Conway leads simulation-based educational initiatives focused on pediatric resuscitation, critical care, and interdisciplinary team training. His work extends beyond Cohen Children’s through collaborations across Northwell Health, bringing pediatric emergency training and simulation-based education to community emergency departments and prehospital providers. He is also actively involved in regional and national educational initiatives, including serving as faculty for pediatric simulation programs and collaborating with organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and Laerdal Medical.

This interactive, hands-on skills fair brings pediatric and neonatal emergency care to life through case-based learning, procedural skills stations, and high-fidelity simulation. Participants will rotate through practical scenarios designed to refine critical skills, strengthen airway management across multiple modalities, and build confidence when caring for critically ill or injured children and newborns. Through immersive simulation, participants will practice strategies to reduce cognitive strain, improve decision-making, and enhance team performance during pediatric resuscitation. Special emphasis will be placed on high-acuity, low-occurrence (HALO) events, giving clinicians the opportunity to practice rare but critical interventions in a supportive learning environment. Participants will leave with practical strategies, greater confidence, and skills they can immediately apply to pediatric and neonatal emergencies in the field.
