The state of Florida has awarded USF Health $10 million for the creation of the Florida Center for Emergency Medical Services, which will advance emergency medical services through research, education and innovation.
Based at the Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS) in downtown Tampa, the new center will focus on prehospital care and improving and modernizing EMS educational curriculum.
Funding for the new center through the University of South Florida comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the Florida Department of Health.
Research at the center will benefit EMS services statewide, including through public policy.
