MedicCast Episode 430
Good day and welcome to this week's episode of the MedicCast. I'm your host, Jamie Davis the Podmedic and I'd like to welcome you to this week's show. In this week’s EMS news items we’ll look at what one EMS system is doing to teach its crews how to do pit-crew CPR the right way on YouTube!

Then in this week’s special tip segment from the Physio-Control Podcast Studio at EMS Today 2015 in Baltimore, we interview Dr. Dan Swayze from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the Center for Emergency Medicine there. What is Dan doing to implement award-winning mobile integrated healthcare in his community? We’ll find out later in the show after the news.
