We just found out that AZ had 3 oral abstracts accepted (including the #1 scored abstract) for this year’s National Association of EMS Physicians meeting. Of the 208 abstracts submitted, only 15 were selected for oral presentations. We get to do 3 because AZ submitted 3 of the top 15 scored abstracts. Our Statewide Cardiac Receiving Center abstract was the highest scored abstract of the meeting… and we’re preparing a manuscript for New England Journal of Medicine as well. These are a collaboration between the ADHS, the University of Arizona Emergency Medicine Research Center and the UA College of Medicine. Here are the abstract citations:
