Vince Robbins’ first meeting as chair of the National Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council (NEMSAC) certainly was exciting, as the council finalized seven advisories and recommended several more as drafts, on topics ranging from reimbursement to data collection.

“This meeting was pretty remarkable because so many advisories came to completion after a year and a half of these members’ hard work,” said Robbins. “These council members began their work in May of 2015, and 19 out of 25 of those seats were new appointees.”
