Research Forum Workshop

3-Day Workshop: Jump-start Your EMS Research

May 23 - 25 | Applications Accepted Until March 4

The ESO/PCRF Research Forum is ideal for front-line clinicians and clinical leaders with innate curiosity and an itch to launch their next (or first!) EMS research project. The Forum matches participants with clinical mentors, methodologists, and statisticians to accelerate EMS research with the goal of improving community health and safety through the power of data.

Learn the basics of EMS research, explore required data elements, work with a clinical mentor and statistician, start to develop a research abstract for submission, and more.

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.
