The Role of the Medical Director A more collaborative, multidisciplinary oversight is called for in the future.

Abstract: Because of the expanded role EMS providers may paly in the community, medical direction in EMS 3.o should appropriately be a collaborative effort led by EMS subspecialty-certified physicians specially trained in emergency medicine, but also physicians who specialize in disciplines such as internal/family medicine, critical care, cardiology, nephrology, endocrinology and pulmonary medicine. The EMS 3.0 medical director should be able to build patient-centered coalitions of physicians to help meet the care coordination goals of the patient, their physicians and the EMS system.
