Never—in a decade of working rescue—had an EMS student been asked to do this by an examiner during a simulated scenario. He still struggles to process what happened.

Some top EMS physicians set out to investigate how quickly antibodies protect you following the COVID-19 vaccine, what percentage of the antibodies produced are actually neutralizing, and how long their effect might last—the first of a...

It’s hard to blame people without medical education for believing hysterical media accounts of improbable overdoses, especially when their sources seem authoritative. “Authoritative” sources bear some responsibility for today’s widespread...

EMS providers rarely encounter severely ill or injured pediatric patients and have few support mechanisms when they do, so it's not surprising studies have found medication dosing errors in their care. This month's study examined the...

The idea is gaining traction as a defining characteristic among those who remain healthy practitioners. Now researchers from Radford University are working to determine how it might be measured and impact EMS providers' coping strategies and...

If the pilots go well and the state decides to implement community paramedicine programs on a larger scale, the law will have to change to allow paramedics to take on more duties typically performed by nurses and physicians.
