Optimizing Your Relationship with Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Today we discuss coloration of care between athletic trainers and Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Over the years JSMP and JFRD (Jacksonville Fire & Rescue Department) have met together frequently to discuss best practices for care and working together as health care professionals. We also have joint training sessions to implement protocols and practice skills. We are seeking a seamless and efficient plan of care for our athletes and others when emergencies arise. Capt. Eric Mitchell and Dr. Bradley Elias (JSMP Medical Director) have been valuable partners.
