This past weekend, four members of Brown EMS attended the 17th annual National Collegiate EMS Foundation conference in Baltimore, MD. In addition to meeting other students from all over the US and Canada, they attended lectures on topics ranging from how to run a successful training program to addressing controversies in spinal immobilization. Most importantly, they came in second place in the BLS division of the skills competition! Congratulations guys! Check out pictures from their trip to the right.
We want to announce the grand opening of a new teeshirt operation to support the brownEMS.org efforts. As soon as the first ones come in, we will add pictures of the new kit. What better way to commemorate the Brown 2009 Commencement than with a sweet Gator-1 Uniform shirt? Or show your appreciation for UHS Laundry Chief of Operations Freddy Lu? Still in the pipeline: Brown EMS Frequent Flyer Club membership shirt and Learn CPR, Save a Preppy vintage repro!!!

That’s right - The much-hyped 2009 Brown EMS run EMT-B certification course has begun with last night being the first class in a two part CPR series, to be concluded tomorrow. We are happy to report that there were 100% fewer tears shed and complaints filed than last year’s CPR debacle, although that may change in 24 hours. To be continued!!!
The 2009 Summer Course page is also now live under the training section, so be sure to check out the various resources available, including online course syllabus and training videos of the skills stations (coming soon).
SO IT BEGINS!
