2016 Annual Report

Resident Physician Training for Advocate Christ Medical Center In October, 2016, Orland hosted nearly 50 resident physicians from Advocate Christ Medical Center. This event has been taking place every 3 years, over approximately 15 years. After introductions, the groups were sent to different stations to experience the patient care perspective from the paramedic responders’ view. They extricated a patient that was pinned under a vehicle, performed confined space rescue, provided an advanced airway to patients trapped in a vehicle, assessed and treated a trauma patient while being hindered by low light, smoke and noise and extricated a patients hand from a meat grinder and a machine.

It is important for us to conduct training based on best practice models for worst case scenarios, utilizing simulation. We don’t want to think that bad things will happen here, but we must be prepared. We continue to train with Orland police in the event that lives must be saved while they provide protection to our paramedics.
