Our Emergency Medicine physicians are engaged in a broad variety of public safety opportunities from urban and rural search-and-rescue to federal and municipal tactical support, from commercial and municipal third-service and fire-based EMS, to ground-to-flight. Our providers are actively engaged as field physicians, including a first-response program with law enforcement. Historically, our projects have led to changing the scope of EMS practice throughout the state and the nation. Join us!
