The WVEMS Regional Medical Direction Committee is gearing up for the next round of protocol updates. The RMDC will appoint a “Protocol Workgroup” to begin work very soon. This workgroup will consist of several OMDs with broad experience in protocol development, and will also include nine providers from across the region as advisory members who will play an important role in the process. We are seeking three experienced EMS providers (ALS level preferred) from each of our three planning districts (Roanoke-Alleghany, Piedmont, and New River Valley), for a total of nine providers to serve on this workgroup. The workgroup will meet regularly (probably monthly),  with a combination of day and evening meetings. A conference call line will be available for these meetings, however in-person attendance is encouraged whenever possible. This is a very important commitment. If you have interest in serving on the Protocol Workgroup for the coming 12 months (or longer), please send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots.

The Regional Medical Direction Committee will announce the selections no later than March 15.
