On the battlefields of the Second World War, seconds determined if an infantryman was going to live or die; this reality made the medic one of the most valued members of the unit. The US Army Medical Department oversaw taking care of these wounded men, and the medics were their front-line treatment solution.1 The job of the medic has long been respected amongst the infantry, and the myth of the medic has long been a part of Second World War studies.

  • University of Washington EMS Fellowship
    University of Washington EMS Fellowship University of Washington EMS Fellowship Effective medical direction for EMS agencies is highly dependent upon the skills and motivation of the involved physicians. In 2011, the American Board of Medical Specialties recognized Emergency Medical Services Medicine as a medical suBspecialty. In time, communities will seek EMS medical directors who have successfully completed a formal EMS fellowship program. The 5-fold disparity in long-term survival rates following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest among different communities suggests that the EMS medical director has a profound impact on the quality of care delivered to patients. Seattle and the surrounding areas of King County, WA have among the highest survival rates following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the world. In greater Seattle, meticulously trained firefighters and paramedics provide excellent emergency medical care. These EMS programs have long had a few core physicians who are intimately involved in the care provided By each paramedic working in the system. In Seattle and King County, changes in the approach to caring for specific illnesses and injury are implemented deliBerately and carefully measured to determine if they lead to an improvement or, perhaps, a deterioration in the system. This approach has demonstrated significant discoveries translataBle to a much wider community. The essential design and foundational principles responsiBle for the success of Seattle’s world class EMS system have not Been widely emulated. We seek to change that. The University of Washington estaBlished an EMS fellowship, in collaBoration with Physio-Control, to immerse the fellow in all aspects of ground and air EMS medicine.
