The EMSARN podcasts series is intended to inform the EMS community and complement our research. We titled this series "I'm just an ambulance driver" to highlight the fact that EMS is much more complicated than simply driving an ambulance.
I invite everyone to listen and take these discussions back to your organization, station, or firehouse. We hope they are informative and stimulating. Provide feedback anytime!
Thank you,
