Language Matters: How EMS Communication Shapes Assessment, Trust, and Outcomes, presented by Carrie Gigray, MSHS, CHSE, CHSOS, GC-HQS, NRP.

Language directly influences clinical reasoning, patient trust, and outcomes in EMS. This session integrates evidence, EMS case examples, and experiential learning to examine how bias and communication patterns affect care. Participants will gain practical strategies to recognize bias, reduce stigmatizing language, strengthen empathy, and improve team communication - skills that translate directly to better patient care.

Black History Month Statement on Behalf of NAEMSE's DEIB Committee

During Black History Month, we pause to recognize both the profound contributions of Black Americans to emergency medical services and the unfortunate efforts across our nation to erase or overlook integral chapters of our shared story. It is essential that we honor those whose courage, innovation, and leadership helped build the foundations of EMS and EMS education and that we commit to ensuring their legacies are fully and accurately remembered.

We honor figures whose names and stories exemplify leadership, resilience, and service within emergency care and medical education, including George McCary III, Darnella Wilson, Pearl Porter, Addie Johnson, Margaret E. Bailey, and other Black leaders across emergency medicine, healthcare, and health education whose collective work strengthened the foundations of equitable care for all.

We also celebrate efforts such as the one to award the Freedom House Ambulance Service the Congressional Gold Medal, a symbol of our nation's gratitude for their service and innovation. The groundbreaking work of the Black men and women of the Freedom House Ambulance Service in Pittsburgh, who in 1967 became America's first professionally trained paramedics and set the standard for emergency care in communities long denied equitable responses. These pioneers answered thousands of emergency calls with advanced skills, compassion, and dedication, and shaped the professional EMS systems we rely on today.

Emergency medical services and EMS education are vital to the health and survival of our communities. EMS instructors ensure their curricula are up to date, evidence-based, and culturally relevant to the communities we serve. As educators and providers, we thank each of you for your commitment to training future EMS clinicians with a focus on excellence, equity, and compassion. Together, we strive to honor the legacies of those who came before us while continuing to build a profession that truly serves all people.

Join NAEMSE and Dennis Edgerly, MEd, EMTP, on Tuesday, February 17th, for an informative webinar. EMS programs use clinical rotations as part of the student learning experience. More frequently, space in clinical sites is becoming more difficult to get, and students are often limited in what they are allowed to do. Additionally, there is no guarantee of what patient types, if any, a student will see when doing a clinical shift. Simulated clinicals are a way instructors can provide students with an experience similar to a clinical rotation, and some studies suggest that the simulated experience is a better learning opportunity. This webinar will look at how simulated clinical time can be used to supplement and, in some cases, replace clinical time.
