Submitted by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA)
The OHA Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Systems Program is now accepting applications for the new Emergency Medical Services Advisory Board (EMSAB) and Emergency Medical Services for Children Advisory Committee (EMSCAC), in alignment with the 2024 EMS Modernization legislation.
The EMSAB is a new body created by EMS Modernization. It will receive recommendations from advisory committees and subcommittees about provision of emergency medical care throughout Oregon, approve regional plans, and work to address ongoing challenges in the field of emergency medicine. The EMSCAC enters a new iteration following EMS Modernization.
EMSAB applications close Aug. 16, and EMSCAC applications are due by Oct. 31.
Additional applications will open February 2025 for the other advisory committees and subcommittees created by EMS Modernization, and for additional positions on the EMSCAC that were not included in the bill.
