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.  With the support of Ovid Fraser's matching grant for Guyana, a team, including distinguished EMS instructors, will be departing for that country 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 will include 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. New Trip Photos Click here to see images from the April, 2011, Nicaragua training program.
