First Responder Testing and Education Center
First Responder Testing and Education Center
Background: The current pandemic creates numerous challenges for Emergency Medical Services. One of them is understanding if they have been exposed to COVID (did not wear adequate PPE while caring for a patient who tests positive). This concern is increased by the fact that we don't have enough PPE for EMS to wear the full suite for every patient and the delay (often several days) between transport and test results.
Students will provide notification to an assigned group of Rhode Island EMS agencies regarding patients that they have transported to Brown Emergency Medicine staffed facilities who have tested positive every day or two. As the project develops, they may also serve as resources for information regarding exposures, return to work guidelines, and testing information.
Hours per day: Depending on the number of results, anticipate approximately 1-2 hours daily or every other day.
Faculty Coordinator: Dr. Kenneth Williams
Student Coordinator: Maia Dinsmore (maia_dinsmore@brown.edu)
