WOWOWOWOW! Thanks for spending some of your time with us to honor EMS providers during EMS Week 2024!

Mike and Ritu are reunited in person again! YES! Recorded in Austin at ESO WAVE 2024! We talk about a lot of good stuff on this episode. EMS System design, AI, Decsion support, Protocol testing, and more! Feel free to share, like an leave us a review! we appreciate you still listening to some of the oldest OG's in the game! 

Dr. Sahni sits this one out, so Mike is joined by long time friend of the show, Dr. Jeff Jarvis! This was a super fun event. Just prior to recording, we had the last talk of the day on how we got started in Podcasting. Was nice to have about 50 folks listening to our story and interested! Then, when happy hour started and the drinks started flowing, we hit record! We plug it all the time, but the State of Jefferson EMS Conference is one of our favorites...For Mike, he gets to come home and see his friends and family, for Jeff, he comes to his birth state (he lived here for 9 minutes when he was born)... it's an all-around great time. 

Mike and Ritu are Joined by Miranda Franco, a Senior Policy Advisor at Holland and Knight. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the critical advocacy work happening behind the scenes, and discover how each of us can play a role in ensuring that EMS professionals receive the recognition, resources, and support they deserve. Together, let's amplify the voice of EMS advocacy and contribute to building a brighter future for those who selflessly dedicate their lives to saving others.
