LHP E78 – Racial Disparities in EMS Analgesia

The EMS Lighthouse Project

What would you say if I told you that Black patients were less likely to receive pain medication compared with white patients? My guess is you’d either question the methods, assume it isn’t possible, or ask why. Regardless of what your answer is, you’re going to want to listen to this episode. Mikey V returns to co-host a live episode from the ESO PCRF research forum, where we interview Drs. Remle Crowe and Jamie Kennel about their new research on this subject. I learned some things, and I think you will, too.

Here's a link to future ESO PCRF research forums:
