This course will be a cornerstone of EMS education to refl ect current trends in prehospital care. Based on sound scientifi c principles, we have been careful to ensure that the course refl ects the trends toward evidenced-based practice. However, practices and formularies are different among different regions of the country and among countries. We have attempted to make the course as comprehensive as possible.
