Building a Sustainable Rural EMS Workforce

National Rural Health Resource Center

This EMS webinar focused on building a sustainable rural EMS workforce, based off of the summit guide that had been recently released titled, Building a Sustainable Rural Health Workforce for the 21st Century. The guide includes strategies focused on four key areas, all of which are applicable to rural EMS. This event is supported by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) and coordinated by the Technical Assistance and Services Center (TASC), a program of the National Rural Health Resource Center (The Center). 

Speakers:

  • Tracy Morton, The Center
  • Ben Wasmund, SafeTech Solutions
