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.

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.
