Research Program
The Department’s EMS Research Program is dedicated to investigation of the emergency
medical services environment by the application of epidemiological methods with the
goals of acquiring new knowledge, reviewing and/or revising existing knowledge and
ultimately promoting improved efficacy and efficiency of pre-hospital patient care
techniques. Investigation is accomplished by gathering measurable evidence, data
collection, observation and experimentation.
The EMS Research Program will periodically update this page with links to popular
