The AirLife EMS Conference was started 10 years ago to bring the highest quality continuing education at no cost to those EMS personnel who offer their services every day to support their community. It is hosted each time by a community fire service, and we are very grateful to each of those departments who over the years have graciously welcomed us into their communities.
The year the conference will be hosted by Rocky Mountain Rescue. We are also grateful to CU Boulder for the use of their campus facilities this year.
Conference Highlights:
Our topics this year focus on the challenges EMS and rescue providers may face as we bring care to remote and wilderness areas. The Breakout Sessions will feature ALECS (AirLife Emergency Care Simulator) and his friends: a simulator workshop, real-time rescue scenarios, search and rescue dog operations, and an airway lab.
Breakout sessions will be offered for an opportunity to practice and discuss hands on challenges. The day will finish with the always popular Case Reviews moderated by Dr. Mark Maertins, Dr. Burt Katubig, and AirLife Flight Nurses. |

Keynote Speaker:
This year we are privileged to welcome Dr. Alison Sheets.
Dr. Sheets is an Emergency Physician at Longmont United Hospital, and the current medical director of the Rocky Mountain Rescue Group. She received her medical degree from the University of Colorado, and completed her emergency medicine training at Denver Health Medical Center.
In 2008 she was a staff physician for the Himalayan Rescue Association's Pheriche clinic at 14,000 ft. in the Everest region of Nepal. Prior to her medical career, Dr. Sheets was a mountain guide for over a decade, including leading clients on international expeditions to over 18,000 ft. |
