ROAR19: Tribal EMS in the United States: challenges and innovation


About

Delivered by international guest speakers Chelsea White and Elizabeth Melton, this informative presentation discusses two Tribal Community EMS programs in New Mexico. The presenters will discuss how a collaborative effort between healthcare teams addresses unmet and undermet medical needs in the Pueblo of Laguna community. And on the Ramah Navajo Reservation, how primary care paramedics provide minor emergency/urgent care in their station when the local clinic is closed.

The Paramedics Australasia Rural Outback and Remote (ROAR) 2019 Conference promises to deliver an informative and educational program aimed at those working in rural, outback and remote out-of-hospital settings.

This exciting program will showcase a broad range of speakers and topics, providing delegates with opportunities to gain new knowledge, apply learned skills to their practice and earn valuable CPD hours. The knowledge and skills gained at ROAR 2019 will benefit paramedics, rural and remote nurses, retrieval and flight specialists, and other allied health staff working side-by-side in this unique environment.


Presented by Dr Chelsea White and Libby Melton

Chelsea is an emergency physician, Dept of Emergency Medicine at University of New Mexico and Director of the UNM Center for Rural and Tribal EMS and UNM EMS Fellowship. Elizabeth is a nurse practitioner with Dr Chelsea in the USA, as EMS Faculty.
