EMS Magazine Monthly Insider for June ‘07
Marc Minkler
Marc has been involved in EMS as a field provider, training officer and operations manager, as well as a teacher and writer. He is currently a firefighter/paramedic in Portland, Maine and a professor at York County Community College in the paramedic degree program.
He has previously provided materials for emergency care textbooks and manuals, and now begins as a regular contributor for EMS magazine. Listen as he discusses his goals for this series, which include reviews for the maintenance of important and sometimes rarely used skills. Marc hopes these refreshers will give providers the confidence to use those skills rather than avoid them because of inexperience, and lead to better patient outcomes.
The columns will also help providers stay educated on various related protocols for patient care. Listen as Marc explains why he considers it important for field providers to regularly re-examine these issues at their own services, and remain a part of the protocol development process.
Marc’s first Advanced Skills Lab column, on intraosseous insertion, appears in the June issue of EMS Magazine.
