| 36 | Introducing Dr. Jon Allen (”Doc Allen”)
Episode description
In this episode, Jason and Brandon talk with emergency medicine physician and EMS medical director, Dr. Jon Allen, or, as his medics call him, "Doc Allen."
Doc Allen has a passion for all things emergency medicine and EMS, and it definitely shows in his work and day to day operations. As the medical director for multiple EMS services (Cherokee County Fire & Emergency Services, Pickens County Fire Rescue), tactical law enforcement teams, and the Georgia Smoke Diver Association, Doc Allen hopes to influence EMS by engaging with the paramedics on the ground level by ways of running calls with them, training with them, and protocol development. Doc Allen truly has a vision of EMS being part of a global system of care, and the benefits that come with practicing based on evidence based medicine.
This is the first of many conversations with Dr. Allen, as he will be back with Jason and Brandon to discuss various calls, case studies, and research.
