Last month, we wrapped up the delivery of our inaugural High Angle Medical Rescue (HAMR) course here in the #rrg . Designed specifically for professional healthcare providers who are expected to operate in the high angle environment, this course combines the Rope Technician curriculum of NFPA 1006 with close to 20 hours of austere #ebm appropriate for the BLS and ALS levels alike. Members of our own roster had a great time learning with members of local, regional, and federal agencies about everything from floating anchors to Foleys and BVMs to basket scoops. We're planning our next offering for this summer.

Thanks to @wildcatemres for the shout! We enjoyed hosting two of their residents during last weekend's search and recovery operation.

Our team spent the day providing medical support to our friends on Wolfe County Search & Rescue Team, Powell County Search & Rescue, Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Department, Lee County Search & Rescue, and K9 units from various agencies as they conducted a wide area search in the Red River Gorge region. Our EMT, Paramedic, and EMS Physician were joined by two Emergency Medicine residents from the University of Kentucky Medical Center, who shadowed our operations.
