2020 Minnesota TZD Webinar Series

Philosophy Isn’t Just for Academics: Applying Stoicism to EMS Response and Traffic Safety Planning

Tuesday, October 27, 2020
1:00 - 2:00 p.m. Central Time

About the Webinar

Environmental factors can affect traffic scene rescues and patient outcomes. All the TZD "Es" play a role in preparing for, and performing, their duties—no matter what situation they may encounter. In this webinar, emergency medical service providers and their partners will share challenging crash case studies. They will also examine how the lessons learned lead to changes to EMS response and roadway safety.

Moderator

Julie Philbrook, Trauma Prevention Specialist, Hennepin Healthcare
