Matthew Bogard, MD completes
Iowa Emergency Medical Services Medical Director Training
Board Certified Doctor
with extensive skills in emergency medicine now able to serve as Medical
Director to EMS agencies
Doctor
Matthew Bogard, Board Certified in Family
Medicine and Board Eligible in Emergency Medicine, recently completed advanced
training presented by the Iowa Bureau of Emergency and Trauma Services with an
eye toward providing additional services to EMS agencies in rural
locations.
The single day course reviewed Iowa Code governing Emergency
Medical Services, types of agencies and classifications of responders,
additional resources necessary for Critical Care Transport Services, and the
importance of an EMS Contingency Plan.
Training was also provided regarding the Iowa EMS provider scope of
practice.
According to Dr. Bogard, “Emergency Medicine doctors interact
with first responders, Emergency Medical Technicians, and Paramedics on a daily
basis. We receive patients they have
evaluated and cared for, often providing lifesaving treatments. In many cases
rely on EMS services to not only transport patients to the Emergency Room but
also transfer them elsewhere, sometimes over great distances. It is important to have a strong and
supportive working relationship with the Emergency Medical Services departments
in the areas you work.”
