EMS agencies are encouraged to participate in a national study regarding EMS fatigue. This important and collaborative initiative is being coordinated by the National Association of State EMS Officials (NASEMSO) and the University of Pittsburgh.
This federally-funded study will determine the impact of a Sleep Health and Fatigue Education Program designed specially for EMS clinician shift workers. To learn more, visit this link.
