EMS Medical Directors

EMS Medical Directors are licensed physicians responsible for overseeing emergency medical services (EMS) in a specific area. They develop protocols, ensure quality care, and provide medical guidance to EMTs and paramedics. They also train personnel, review patient outcomes, and coordinate with hospitals and agencies to improve emergency care. Essentially, they ensure that emergency responders deliver safe, effective, and consistent medical treatment during emergencies, acting as the medical authority behind pre-hospital care systems.
