Hello Everyone. Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you and happy EMS Week.

Hello Everyone, just wanted to make sure that we gave everyone a last chance to get registered for our EMS Leadership and Medical Disaster Management Program at UNC. We delve into many of the topics that relate to Medical Disaster Management and how those topics also relate our daily practice. We discuss a number of leadership skills, administrative management skills, preparedness and planning, and actual medical disaster operations with experts who have "been there and done it" with abundant resources and in austere environments with literately no resources. Come join us before all the seats are gone. Registration ends on April 18th, 2014. Thanks. Jim Gusler, University of North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center 919) 966-3659. Look Forward to hearing from you.
