News...
GEMINI's
Dominican Republic project was featured in the January 11, 2011,
UMASSMedNow newsletter, 'Teach
a man to fish...and to provide advanced cardiac life support'. Be
sure to read this wonderful story -- a great intro to GEMINI and its
UMass participants.
On Tuesday, March 20, 2012, the Worcester Telegram and
Gazette published a feature front page story on GEMINI, focusing on
its Guyana and an earlier Armenia Project. Click here to read it.

With the
support of Ovid Fraser's matching grant for Guyana, a
team, including distinguished EMS instructors, went to Georgetown,
Guyana, on January 29, 2012, for five days of training The project is
to train teachers to
teach
prehospital emergency medicine skills to classes of first
responder personnel. The trip includes a GEMINI 'first', a flash drive
for students which includes instructional materials, EMS resources, and
much more....
This is a very important part of what we expect to be the
Guyana Ministry of Health's program to establish of a modern
prehospital
service. Check
out the Guyana page to learn more,
including bios of the medical team.
Here are photos from the Guyana
trip.
