Emergency Medical Services

Our faculty comprise the leadership of the two largest emergency medical services (EMS) agencies in Miami. Dr. Armando Clift is one of the medical directors for City of Miami EMS and Dr. Gerry Job is the medical director for Miami-Dade County EMS.

Our residents have the unique opportunity to rotate with both agencies during their PGY-1 year. Their ride-along activities include ambulance and optional helicopter rides. For those residents with a particular interest in EMS, we also offer the opportunity for an elective where they can gain increased experience with EMS protocol developments and administration. Additionally, there are opportunities for teaching different courses to EMS providers, such as point-of-care ultrasound and airway courses, via the University of Miami Gordon Simulation Center.
