The Mid-Atlantic Chapter of ITLS recognizes the importance of quality out of hospital care. We are dedicated to improving education of health care providers and out of hospital patient care. First Responders, EMTs, Paramedics, Nurses, Physician Assistants, and Physicians are a critical component of the patient care team. Well trained health care providers, operating with the supervision of medical direction will ensure appropriate care and timely transport, thereby reducing the incidence of morbidity and mortality.
