Dear EMS providers and colleagues,

 

It is with great pleasure that I can announce to you that Robert McCartin, BS, EMT-P, CIC will be assuming a permanent role as Administrative EMS Director for UB|MD EMS.

 

Robert began his career in EMS as an EMT-B from ECC-North and working his way through the EMS ranks, ultimately completing his Paramedic certification in 2015 at Monroe Community College (MCC). Robert continued on to obtain his AAS in Paramedicine from MCC in 2016, and just recently completed his BS in Health Science from SNHU in 2020.

 

Robert comes to us with valuable and relevant administrative and operational experience. In addition to his experience as a provider, Robert has worked for Lake Plains Community Care Network as the EMS program coordinator and continues to serve on the Data team with NYS BEMS to design, create, and implement the data standards throughout the state.

 

Robert’s central goals for UB|MD EMS outreach are to continue to advocate for EMS providers, agencies, and our local EMS systems, to improve EMS care in the WNY region.
