The National Association of EMS Physicians annual conference showcases the best research on prehospital emergency care from across the U.S. and internationally. The most recent conference was held this past January 2010 in Phoenix AZ. Faculty affiliated with the Center and Department of Emergency Medicine here at Pittsburgh had another fine year, presenting 13 oral and moderated poster presentations (approximately 11% of all presented). Abstracts from each of these presentations have been published in Volume 14 of Prehospital Emergency Care, Supplment S1, January 2010. The title, author, and affiliations of our faculty and fellows are listed below – including Dr. Young Min Kim who is a visiting fellow with the Department of Emergency Medicine.
