Hi all,
The goal of this blog is to be a useful resource to EMS groups working on college campuses. Topics will include operations, funding, organization, and administration. Operationally, college EMS squads have to deal with a different set of common calls than your average city or rural 911 unit may handle. Funding is done through different sources, and often at a lower level then outside EMS groups, especially if the college service does not bill for services. Other issues appear as college EMS groups, especially new ones, work to get respected and recognized in their communities.
In this blog, I hope to combine my experience in this area with that of other EMTs who have worked in this area. If you are interested in contributing knowledge, please let me know. Any and all feedback is welcome.
I hope that this blog proves to be a valuable resource for the Collegiate EMS community!
Sincerely,
Ryan
