STAT MedEvac is a proud supporter of the Pittsburgh Emergency Medicine Foundation. We have also been recipients of research grants over the years. Given that, we are and is eager to share the current EMS Case Report Grant Program that PEMF is currently working promoting.
The EMS Case Report Grant Program is designed to support and encourage prehospital clinicians, in Western Pennsylvania, to participate in research. The program aims to empower EMTs, paramedics, flight nurses, flight paramedics, and other EMS professionals to document and share unique or uncommon patient care experiences through peer-reviewed case reports.
Eligible applicants may have cared for patients with rare conditions, provided treatment in unusual environments, or encountered atypical responses to standard care that required specialized skills, equipment, or protocols. Through the program, clinicians partner with a local emergency physician to gather medical records, draft a manuscript, and submit their case report to a scientific journal. Submissions are then evaluated for grant eligibility.
By offering $500 grants and ongoing application opportunities, the foundation hopes to foster the next generation of EMS researchers while improving out-of-hospital patient care and continuing Pittsburgh’s long-standing leadership in emergency medicine.
