Industry survey help needed! HEMS crewmembers are invited to participate in the online research study on how HEMS crew members communicate about safety concerns during hazardous situations.

Participants must be employed as a HEMS medic, nurse, pilot, or other type of flying crew member. Participation is confidential; the survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.

The research is being conducted by a former flight paramedic in pursuit of a Ph.D. at Oklahoma State University. Please provide input if you are able!

"SMTA provides a solid foundation in safety management systems (SMS) knowledge and gives students the tools to go back to their programs to assess and shape initiatives to keep crews and patients safe. Patient Safety is an integral component of medical transport, and understanding how the SMS supports its structure, process, and patient outcomes is crucial. I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to learn how they can actively improve their program’s safety culture and outcomes." ~ SMTA Participant

Since its transition from AAMS to the University of Pittsburgh, the ETHOS database has continued to make progress compiling comprehensive, real-time data about medical transport operations in the United States. However, there is more work to do!

ETHOS invites you to their upcoming webinar for an informative discussion about the value of your participation, how your data is collected, the privacy and security measures in place, and the valuable ways your data can help the medical transport industry.

: Y'All, meet Tamara and Sherri from the Oglebay National Training Center, our gurus on the ground! We are so grateful for their support as they help keep our program running smoothly here in Wheeling. 🙂

: In response to last week's devastating flash floods in Wheeling, WV, MTLI Regents and Students came together in solidarity - gathering program swag and handwritten thank-you notes to bring a spark of encouragement to the city's first responders.

During today’s visit with Chief Jim Blazier, he shared that while the community is still reeling, his team is standing strong. He also reflected on how the crisis has revealed emerging leaders within their ranks.

Let’s continue to hold the Wheeling first responders and their community close in our thoughts.

: Shout out to our Second Year Students! Classes by day, group projects by night - they are working hard for that CMTE!
