Episode notes
The inherent risk of injury and illness comes with most jobs, more so in the first responder community. Working on the front lines during disasters, roadway collisions, and violent encounters, paramedics experience their fair share of risk. However, limited large-scale data analysis describes the injuries and illnesses paramedics face. Join this month's PCRF Journal Club as we review a study that evaluated workforce data to describe these challenges paramedics face and how we compare to other first responders and those in health care.
