We had an opportunity to sit down with Mel House, the Executive Director of the Ohio Dept. of EMS. Director House wanted to share with our listeners what their responsibilities are and how they go about fulfilling those responsibilites.
Director House also took time to give some facts about certifications, the recertification process, and to also dispelled some rumors.
We also took this opportunity to discuss the new legistlation passed by the Ohio House of Representatives that allows paramedics to practice in "non-emergency" situations. This new legislation opens the door for community paramedicine in Ohio. Check out the "ORC 4765.361 Information Sheet" released by the Ohio Department of EMS for more information.
We want to apologize for the recent delay in "airing" new episodes. Thank you for all of your patience and support!!! We will have another episode ready for you in the next week or so.
Stay safe!!
