CARESTAR-PCRF EMS Equity Research Workshop
May 1-3 | Los Angeles, California
The Research Workshop matches participants with clinical mentors, methodologists, and statisticians to accelerate EMS research. Participants work with faculty to identify critical problems facing prehospital workforce and care today especially in areas where there is limited evidence to guide practice. Groups will focus on the important issue of diversity, equity and inclusivity in the EMS workforce and care delivery system. We will have use of national databases with staff on site to query deidentified records and provide immediate results.

Am I on Camera? Using Video Review in Pediatric Skills Training
Maintaining skills in pediatric prehospital care is critical since pediatric patient encounters can be high acuity/low frequency. Evidence shows that procedural skills competency decays in as little as three months.
Join us this month for the Prehospital Care Research Forum education podcast as we review a study that used simulations and first-person video to test the effectiveness of procedural skills training and its impact on skills retention. Register below!
