This training will be focused on medical directorship and the role of the physician in EMS. The training will be formulated around the care and interventions that can be provided when a EMS trained physician is present, active and consistently involved. We will also review advanced techniques and interventions that can be utilized and how management of the critical injured patient can be optimized with advanced on-scene invasive intensive care.
