EMS

Starting in the PGY 2 year, charge residents assigned to the Charity ED function as EMS Medical Control for the City of New Orleans and a number of surrounding parishes. 

 Dedicated EMS ride-along shifts are also integrated throughout each Charity ED month.  Residents will ride with New Orleans EMS shift supervisors in sprint cars and function as a mobile Medical Control and/or fly as a flight physician on Acadian Ambulance helicopters operating out of Houma, La or Abita Springs, La. Both opportunities provide the resident with valuable pre-hospital experience and field management of critical patients. 

 

We also cover all major events in the City of New Orleans, such as the Sugar Bowl, Saints games, Mardi Gras, Jazz Festival, Essence Festival and Bayou Classic.
