Emergency Resources At Your Fingertips
Because of the budget process in Albany, NYS Director of EMS & Trauma, Ryan Greenburg will not be able to attend this year's conference. However, his deputy, Steve Dziura will be sharing new initiatives and other changes related to EMS in a plenary session on Saturday morning March, 30th at 9am. This is also a switch in time as Dr Jeremy Cushman will do his popular "What's Hot and What's Not in EMS" 2019 edition at the Friday March 29th plenary session at 1pm.
Time is growing short, so please sign up at http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=uk6o6uvab&oeidk=a07... you are able to join us at the 2019 STEP Conference!!
Come join us for our annual STEP Conference. Speakers from EMS, Fire, & other health and public safety arenas will discuss medical, trauma, pediatric and obstetric topics among others. This year, we are opening up the conference more fully to fire agencies with a full fire-related track (Note: most of those sessions do not qualify for NYS EMS CME credit). Another addition this year is an 8 hour certification course in Mental Health 1st Aid - participants must pay the fees for, and attend the 4 hr Thursday preconference, as well as 4 workshops over the next 2 days (marked with an asterix) to qualify for the certificate. Note: Conference attendees who are not working toward the certificate and attending the preconference may also choose any of the workshops on Friday or Saturday to attend for just CME credit as part of their conference package.
Dr Michael Mendoza, Monroe County Director of Public Health and Ryan Greenberg, the new NYS Director of the Bureau of EMS & Trauma will join us as plenary speakers on Friday. Monroe-Livingston Regional EMS Medical Director, Dr Jeremy Cushman & nationally- known speaker, NREMT-P Christopher Ebright will be the plenary speakers on Saturday. A full buffet breakfast & lunch is included each day. The awards breakfast on Saturday 3/30 will include STEPS' traditional recognition of agencies celebrating anniversary years, as well as Joanna Award, Lloyd Levy Award or Chloe Alexson Scholarship, if applicable. Information about applying for those awards can be found at http://stepems.org/awards.html . The award deadline is March 1, 2019.
