Call for Abstracts!
Each year the Call for Abstracts highlights the Prehospital Care Research Forum at UCLA activities. Abstracts are received from EMS providers, clinicians, educators, administrators, and students from all over the nation and abroad. A peer-review process determines which authors are invited to present their study at a national conference.
Authors frame their studies in the literature, which provides dynamic, interesting and provocative presentations. Education, Clinical & Systems abstracts due June 30, 2023.
