EMS Podcasts
Every month, the NCRTAC produces a podcast to help EMS providers keep up with the activities of the RTAC. We know that many EMS providers cannot make it to the regular RTAC meetings but still value the work they do and the importance of their participation in the RTAC.Each podcast starts with a review of State and regional trauma system-related news followed by a 20 or 30 minute trauma topic continuing education.
