Overview of Academy of Medicine’s Southwest Ohio Prehospital Care Committees & Services

In the Greater Cincinnati area, EMS is handled by community Fire Departments. Historically, these departments had widely varying EMS protocols. In the late 1970's under the auspices of The Academy of Medicine of Cincinnati, several local EMS Medical Directors created a Protocol Committee made up of EMS Medical Directors, EMT Basics, EMT Paramedics, EMS Educators and Fire Chiefs. This committee created a unified pre-hospital protocol for all of the Ohio Greater Cincinnati area. An agreement between the Fire Chiefs Association and The Academy of Medicine has allowed our protocols to be accepted at over 70 departments across Hamilton County and Southwest Ohio.
