Description of the product: 

Continuing Mobile Education for EMS Providers is a video vodcast-based education program that includes interviews from physicians, EMTs, paramedics, and patients to help the EMS Provider give patients better care. The program was created to address the need for more "on-demand" educational opportunities for EMS Providers. Each month, a new block of four 10-minute vodcasts is posted to the program website, http://www.rochesterems.org/.

In the Safety and the Older Adult block of podcasts, you will learn about safety issues that impact patients and prehospital providers. Topics covered include fire safety, fall prevention, smoking safety, and microorganism in prehospital care.
