There is nothing quite like learning emergency medicine by getting your hands on the tools of the trade.
Our spring EMIG skills night gave students the opportunity to practice several core procedural skills that are central to emergency care, including lumbar punctures, central lines, and suturing.
The session was taught by Dr. Emily Sanchez and Dr. Andrew Zwijack, who shared their expertise, coached students through technique, and helped create an engaging environment for learning by doing.
Experiences like this are an important part of helping students explore emergency medicine, build confidence, and develop early procedural skills. A big thank you to Dr. Sanchez, the teaching team, and everyone who helped make the evening a success.

In the shadow of an active volcano, where alpine rescue demands both technical precision and medical expertise, Dr. Scott McIntosh recently shared his knowledge with the Ruapehu Alpine Rescue Organization on New Zealand’s North Island.

RARO operates near Mt. Ruapehu in Tongariro National Park, a remarkable and challenging environment that is also home to the only glaciers on New Zealand’s North Island. On May 2, Dr. McIntosh provided education across several critical areas of mountain and rescue medicine, including:

Emergency Medical Services and Search & Rescue: dispatch and coordination practices in the United States compared with New Zealand

Spinal trauma and best practices for spinal cord protection

Concussive effects of blast injuries for ski patrol

Avalanche safety, burial physiology, and rescue

It is always inspiring to see emergency medicine education extend across borders, especially in environments where clinical care, rescue operations, terrain, and weather all intersect. Thank you to Dr. McIntosh and the Ruapehu Alpine Rescue Organization for their commitment to improving care in austere and high-risk alpine settings.

Our amazing EMTs and paramedics work every Delta Center event, ready to jump in at a moment’s notice to help people with medical issues during a concert, hockey game, bull riding, a basketball game, monster truck jumping, or even Disney on Ice. We see them move with calm precision through packed concourses, communicate seamlessly with venue staff, and provide compassionate care right where it’s needed.

During the Nine Inch Nails concert, they were called to a medical emergency in the crowd. Within seconds they navigated the sea of fans, quickly assessed the situation, stabilized the person, and coordinated safely with security and EMS transport. Their training, teamwork, and steady heads turned a chaotic moment into a controlled response — and a reminder of how vital they are to keeping everyone safe.

We’re proud of these professionals who work behind the scenes at every event. They give fans and families the peace of mind to enjoy a night out knowing skilled help is always nearby. Thank you to our EMTs and paramedics for their dedication, expertise, and the quiet courage they bring to every call.
