EMS Tip of the Week: Developing EMS Researchers
First up this week is a look at two EMS10 Awardees from North Carolina who are changing the way we educate EMS providers about EMS research. Ginny Renkiewicz and Sara Houston are two paramedics and educators at North Carolina State University With a Vision for transforming prehospital throughout the United States Ginny and Sara have worked tirelessly to instill a passion for research within their students and make North Carolina the leader in delivering high-quality research about prehospital patient care–all written by the providers of prehospital patient care.
Putting their passion into practice, the two founded the Foundation for Prehospital Medicine Research. Through their foundation, paramedic students from Western Carolina University, NC State University, and Durham Technical Community College are provided the opportunity to annually spend a weekend-long workshop working together side by side with expert researchers and authors where they simultaneously learn about the clinical research process and are given the opportunity to complete team-driven research projects. Check out what Ginny and Sara have to say about their ground-breaking work.
Next up in this week’s episode is a look at what the Gathering of Eagles covered in their annual conference recently. I corralled Richmond Ambulance Authority Chief Operating Officer Rob Lawrence, who attended the Eagles conference, to tell me what the high points he saw at the conference were. Here’s what Rob had to say when I caught up with him in the Physio-Control booth at EMS Today 2016. Check it out.
