 Rotarians and healthcare officials and staff have put together the February, 2012 EMS training program in Georgetown. A great international team of Rotarians from Guyana and GEMINI have worked closely with public health and hospital officials in Guyana to identify students and collaborate with Emergency Education Consultants, LLC to provide an exciting world-class five day training program. This is the first step of what we hope will be a long-term initiative to radically improve emergency medical services in Guyana. Equipment, including laptop computers, will be left behind to aid EMS efforts and future instruction. Students will receive a flash drive Resource Kit with instructional, background EMS research and other materials.
