You are free to choose your topic within the area of EMS and emergency patient care. Topics should be relevant to patient care, the well-being of our people, or to our communities. The goal is to engage and inspire the audience. Your talk could be based on a personal experience or observation, a groundbreaking idea, or any concept that could enhance EMS and emergency patient care in the future.
Guidance and Selection Criteria
The session will be chaired by two members of the faculty.
