May 1-3 | Los Angeles, California

The CARESTAR-PCRF EMS Equity Research Workshop will surround you with data and the resources to advance EMS with science. The Research Workshop matches participants with clinical mentors, methodologists, and statisticians to accelerate EMS research. Participants work with faculty to identify critical problems facing prehospital workforce and care today especially in areas where there is limited evidence to guide practice.

For the CARESTAR-PCRF Equity Research Workshop, groups will focus on the important issue of diversity, equity and inclusivity in the EMS workforce and care delivery system. We will have use of national databases with staff on site to query deidentified records and provide immediate results.

Featured Upcoming Journal Club Webinar

Next Journal Club Clinical Webinar - March 11, 2024

Evaluating Ventilations in Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest and the Impact on Survival

Survival from out of hospital cardiac arrest continues to be a benchmark for EMS Agencies. Focuses on chest compression quality and early defibrillation have led to substantial improvements in return of spontaneous circulation and thousands more cardiac arrest survivors being able to leave the hospital.

Join this month's PCRF Journal Club to discuss a paper that evaluates the size of BVM used and its impact on cardiac arrest survival. Register now!

Harnessing Simulation to Cultivate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Skills in Healthcare Learners

Communication, advocacy, and even history-taking are all behaviors engrained in the EMS provider. Because these behaviors reflect our training, they are also open to bias based on experiences.

Join us this month for the Prehospital Care Research Forum education podcast as we review this scoping review on using simulation to teach behavioral skills related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Register now!
