Marquette, Michigan – September 23, 2015 – Over 500 EMS personnel will attend the 34th annual UP-EMS Conference in Marquette this week.
According to UP-EMS Director Bob Struck, the Conference is Michigan’s most comprehensive educational program for rural emergency responders. Most of the Upper Peninsula’s seventy-five EMS organizations will have members attending, along with EMS personnel from throughout lower Michigan and Northern Wisconsin.
Seventy different emergency classes are offered during the four day program. Classes will be taught by over fifty instructors. Bob Struck states that the UP-EMS Conference is essential because it provides rural emergency personnel an opportunity to learn from leading experts, and to practice new skills and emergency techniques with their peers.
On Friday morning, Senator Tom Casperson and Dr. Jackie Scott, the new Director of the Bureau of EMS, Trauma and Preparedness, will speak on their efforts to improve EMS in Michigan.
UP-EMS is a Marquette-based non-profit organization which promotes the development of emergency medical resources throughout the Upper Peninsula and Northern Michigan. The Conference is held at Northern Michigan University, Thursday, September 24 through Sunday September 27.
