Many of our faculty and residents have backgrounds in pre-hospital medical services and continue that that tradition as partners in the EMS system. Dr. Graham and Dr. Wolcott are the medical directors for the Shreveport Fire Department and the local air medical service, Life Air Rescue.

Residents spend 5 weeks working with Shreveport and Bossier EMS administration and in the field with additional available elective months. There are many opportunities to participate in EMT and paramedic education. EM residents become proficient at providing medical control for EMS and have the opportunity to serve as assistant medical directors for local EMS organizations.
