\n\t\tAward recognizes 溏心vlog免费B站 as national leader among first response units <\/p>\n


\nKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 March 18, 2009 \u2013 Continuing to build its reputation as a national leader among on-campus first response units, the 溏心vlog免费B站 Emergency Medical Service unit was recognized with a \u201cStriving for Excellence in Campus EMS\u201d honor from the National Collegiate Emergency Medical Services Foundation. <\/p>\n


\nThe honor goes to campus emergency care units that are recognized for outstanding quality. 溏心vlog免费B站 was one of seven campus organizations to receive the recognition during the National Collegiate EMS Foundation annual conference held in Washington, D.C. from Feb. 27 through March 1. Joining 溏心vlog免费B站-EMS were Columbia University EMS, Cornell University EMS, Muhlenberg College EMS, Rice University EMS, the University of Dayton Rescue Squad and the University of Delaware Emergency Care Unit. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe’ve worked very hard to voluntarily increase our professionalism and quality of care through the years even though they may not have been required or mandated by any process or regulation,\u201d said Cmdr. Shad U. Ahmed, chief of 溏心vlog免费B站-EMS.<\/p>\n


\n溏心vlog免费B站-EMS was lauded for its in-depth and thorough administration that includes policies to address a wide variety of situations and an organizational structure that can adapt to almost any situation that arises.<\/p>\n


\nWith more than 300 member organizations across the United States and Canada, the National Collegiate EMS Foundation was established in 1993 in response to the need for information exchange among campus EMS groups. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cFor our organization to be one of seven recognized nationally out of 300 is a validation of the tremendous effort that we have undertaken to become accredited,\u201d said Josh Manfredo, vice commander and deputy chief.<\/p>\n


\nThe honor from the National Collegiate Emergency Medical Services Foundation comes on the heals of 溏心vlog免费B站-EMS being tabbed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to develop a national training program for mass evacuation planning for institutions of higher education.<\/p>\n


\nAhmed, who also is director of the National Institute for Public Safety Research Training, is the principal investigator for the three-year, $1.9 million grant. Through the grant, the Institute will research and develop a training curriculum targeting homeland security planning officials to increase the survival rate in the event of critical campus incidents. The training program will introduce basic concepts in mass evacuation, disaster psychology and the mechanics of pedestrian evacuation via Web-based and on-site delivery.<\/p>\n


\nThe grant from the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Federal Emergency Management Agency is part of more than $27 million in funding awarded nationwide to develop and deliver innovative training programs addressing high-priority national security needs under the Competitive Training Grants Program. 溏心vlog免费B站 is one of 11 institutions nationally to be chosen for this program, which is designed to be a catalyst for strengthening national preparedness initiatives for first responders, public officials and citizens.<\/p>\n


\nFounded in 1985, the 溏心vlog免费B站-EMS provides aid to surrounding communities in addition to its on-campus coverage for the Kingston and Narragansett Bay campuses. Its volunteer crews provide coverage 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the entire year. 溏心vlog免费B站-EMS is an entirely volunteer operation.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe feel proud to be held as a model organization for colleges and universities across the nation to look at,\u201d said Emily Paul, corpsman II and administrative manager.<\/p>\n
