Thank you for joining us for the 2012 Vermont EMS Conference sponsored by the Vermont Department of Health.

This year’s conference featured presentations on EMS Response at Mercy Hospital in Joplin, STEMI and Stroke Management Systems, Rural Rescue, Drug Abuse and Addiction Issues, Crime Scene Management, Leadership in EMS, and Emergency Preparedness, Response and Recovery, among many others.  Conference presentations are available for download by visiting the daily schedule and using the PDF Presentation or Handout link provided.  All presentations provided to conference organizers are included here.  Please contact the speaker directly if materials are not available for the session you attended.
