Important Leadership and Provider Briefings for 2023
EMS PROGRAM AGENCIES and EMS COORDINATORS: Please distribute throughout your respective jurisdictions and EMS agencies.
The Bureau of Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Systems (BEMSATS) is pleased to announce the EMS Agency Leadership and EMS Provider Briefings for 2023. All EMS agency leaders and EMS providers are invited and encouraged to attend these informative briefings with the key topics being contemporary issues impacting EMS agencies throughout the State. Questions presented and answered help EMS agency leaders and providers to identify potential issues, resolve current challenges and promote dialogue on the EMS world around us. You never know where a question will generate nor the impact it will truly have on others.
The Department has implemented an updated version of Webex that has a different approach to guest registration, you need to register for each session with an invitation being sent once per week leading up to the Briefing.

If you would like to sign up for Webex generated invitations, please complete the form once at https://apps.health.ny.gov/pubpal/builder/survey/ems-agency-leadership-and-ems-pr and an invitation will be sent out to you within the next 14 calendar days (or sooner if the briefing is within that time period).
As always, questions for the briefing may be submitted in advance to: https://apps.health.ny.gov/pubpal/builder/survey/nys-covid-19-response-ems-agency ~ questions are pulled no earlier than four (4) hours prior to the briefing so submit them early. If you miss that time period, you can always enter questions in the chat dialogue box on the Webex during the briefing.
Thank you! Thank you for all that you do to serve the medical treatment and transport needs of the New York EMS System. Your leadership, participation and interest is inspiring and encouraging.
