Join us for the first Vital Signs EMS Research Forum—an exciting new opportunity to showcase the innovative work happening across prehospital care!
The forum invites EMS professionals, educators, and students to submit original research that advances the science, education, or delivery of emergency medical services. Finalists will present their abstracts during a dedicated session at the conference, with judges selecting top entries for recognition on Saturday, November 15, 2025.
