Hey Gul,
Here is one that I am familiar with (but not affiliated with) in Oregon.

Wow, does this question make me stop and think for a minute.
Right now, in Shackelford County (TX) we have a great Medical Director. He is very active with us. He is very involved with writing our protocols, QA/QI, and training. We have the abili...
Is your Physician Medical Director being paid to provide medical oversight? If so, are you getting your money's worth?
Also, is it acceptable for a non-critical care (Family Practice, Podiatrist, ENT (Ears, Nose and Throat), Pediatrician, etc...)...
To those of you who were wondering, I definitely had in mind someone with previous prehospital experience, preferably as a medic, compared to an EMS fellowship-trained doc.
I don't know that you have to be an EM doc to be a good medical command d...

Rob Theriault said, "In the past 25 years I have met very few medical directors who earn their money so it's always refreshing to meet someone who is committed."
Rob, I strongly encourage you (and everyone interested in EMS) to attend the NAEMSP ...
In the past 25 years I have met very few medical directors who earn their money so it's always refreshing to meet someone who is committed. I met a medical director a few years back who had been the medical director for a large service for 12 year...
Our Medical Director is contracted and is part-time. He is credentialed in Emergency Medicine. He is also the Medical Director for our community college's EMT/Paramedic program. In Florida, the EMS Medical Directors are required annually to have h...
We don't have a Medical Director.
We have a medical standards committee, made up of Dr's and operational Staff and Management.
It coopts members as required from specialties.
Many of the postions aren't full time postitions so we do get our mone...
Yes, currently, EMS Fellowships do not lead to recognized board certification. Since there aren't enough fellowship-trained docs to go around anyway, nobody will be requiring board certification as a condition of hire any time soon.
OK, so here's...
Board Certification as an EMS Physician is coming. Much progress has already been made since this article.

I'm not sure if my medical director is even EM trained, as he may have been trained prior to EM being recognized as a specialty. I do not know if he gets paid for the position, but I'd be VERY surprised if he wasn't. We never see or here from him ...

Once again, another "discussion" has sank to the expected and predicted quagmire of "my Dad can beat up your Dad."
The names and the positions advocated can be predicted from the onset of the posting of the topic of the fourm. I am reminded of my...
I'm thinking either liver failure or a ruptured spleen.
Chance, I've never said that firefighters are globally better at providing EMS. What I have said is that fire departments are not globally worse at providing EMS as is alleged here so often, and that there is no legitimate research that shows that...
The pneumonia doesn’t quite sit right with me. The ruptured bowel is good thought however it does not fit all the Signs and symptoms. I believe the distended belly is the result of Hepatomegaly a back up of blood into the liver from a pump problem...
