Top 10 EMS Innovators

 
Today I received an e-mail entitled JEMS & Physio-Control Present This Year's 10 Innovators in EMS.  As you know, JEMS is a top tiered authority in EMS News and Research and Physio-Control is a key partner in providing equipment for the healthcare fields.  As industry leaders it is always an honor to receive praise from these organizations.  Over the next 10 days I will be reviewing with you the top 10 innovators in EMS, and what they did to get recognition.  As I have mentioned in prior posts, where we go from here is based upon what WE do day to day.  Many of the items on our apparatus came from people in the field.  Some are from physicians, some are from nurses, and many are from our EMTs and Paramedics in the field.  For this we honor them.

This years list is an unique cast of characters.  As mentioned above some are physicians, some are paramedics, and one is a service that is completely changing their identity...oh and the way we look at pre-hospital healthcare delivery.  Tonight I am going to post their names, and tomorrow we will go begin to review each one. 

David Page, MS, NREMT-P
Joseph Ornato, MD, FACP, FACC, FACEP
Graham Nichol, MD, MPH, FRCP(C), FACP, FAHA
MedStar Mobile Healthcare
David Grovdahl, EMT-P
James Dunford, MD, FACEP
Jessica Demarzo, EMT-B
John Curry, Jr,
Richard Price
Dale Becker, EMT-P

There are several unique projects involved here and this is going to be a great project.  If you have personal knowledge of these individuals that you think should be included please send to me.

Take Care and Stay Safe!

ELPA 6872 -Educational Technology

Good Morning Everybody. It has been a long time since I have posted on this blog.  The reason I am is a great reason for my Fire and EMS Audience, as well as my academic colleagues. After a very eventful beginning of 2018, my application was selected to join the latest cohort of students obtaining their Doctor of Education.  As part of this program, we are completing a course that is dedicated to technology and implementation into the classroom.  The delivery of this program is through technology based platforms, in that it is an online program. Here are some questions that I have about technology, and online learning. 1)  To mimic some of the classroom interaction and discussion, online educators use the discussion board with each module to foster communication.  For those of you having completed online educational programs, what made the discussion board useful? 2)  Does the set-up of the online course material make a difference in the success o...

Humbling Weekend creates great joy!!!

The #COMBOMEDIC is back after a short hiatus...sorry about the delay, but I took a couple days off to recoup.  And yet, I remain tired...still!  I guess that is a sign, I just don't know of what yet.  There are times in which the significance of the events are overwhelming in and of themselves and yet when you combine them with something else it is even better.  For me this past weekend was just that...a weekend of such significance that it was overwhelming.  Mountain Man Memorial March On Saturday the 20th of April I has the privilege of walking for soldiers that have given their lives in the defense of a grateful nation.  I was asked to participate in the Mountain Man Memorial March and was part of a team that comprised military members, family members, and high school guys and girls.  On this day we took part in a 13.1 mile march around a terrain composed of flat areas and a large amount of mountainous hills.  This isn't supposed to...

You talking to me

It you use Twitter to follow anybody in EMS, you will certainly have hard that the son of FDNY Fire Commissioner has now resigned from his position as an EMT for his use of the 140 character microblog service.  Now, the FDNY isn't going to have a problem with the use of the service, but they will have a problem with derogatory comments that affect much of their vast community. The New York Daily News  (Article)  is one of many news agencies that has carried this story.  Joseph Cassano started to take heat as news of his twitter posts began to hit the wires.  The Fire Commissioner's son was using the Twitter service to express his displeasure at population groups following calls in the capacity of EMT.  Now, evidently his motives for serving in the FDNY EMT corp was to gain a position in the fire department that his dad serves as the leader.  While serving in this capacity, Mr. Cassano made racist and insensitive remarks about people that he was c...
