This course is an entry level introduction to the essentials of EMS medical oversight and direction. The materials were adapted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) "Guide for Preparing Medical Directors" which had previously been completed by the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSPTM) and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) with funding support from NHTSA and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
The scope of this material is presently confined to United States Emergency Medical Services, but check back for future plans to expand this scope to other nations.
This web-based program was produced by the Critical Illness and Trauma Foundation in collaboration with the NAEMSPTM, the National Association of State EMS Officials,and Montana State University's - Burns Technology Center.
Funding support to prepare these web-bases materials was received from HRSA and NHTSA.
