The Emergency Medicine Learning & Resource Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting public health through the advancement of Emergency Medicine, Disaster Management and Pre-Hospital emergency care through the provision of educational and research programs.

Emergency medicine is the only field of medicine that requires the participation of a complete team. The emergency care system is comprised of 911 Dispatchers, EMTs, Paramedics, Emergency Nurses, Emergency Physicians and Trauma Specialists. The knowledge base for emergency treatment changes every seven years, so continuing education is vitally important in educating emergency teams. As advances in emergency medicine are introduced, the Emergency Medicine Learning & Resource Center (EMLRC) plays a major role in educating our emergency responders to be successful in the field as well as in the Emergency Department.

The Emergency Medicine Learning & Resource Center (EMLRC):

• is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and advancing emergency
   medicine;

• provides lifesaving education to lifesavers through educational and research
   programs in emergency medicine, • disaster management, pre-hospital emergency
   care, and public health;

• is currently providing emergency medicine/services education through six national
   conferences that are held in Florida;

• is currently providing specialized emergency medicine education through its Mobile
   Simulation Lab;

• in concert with the UCF Medical School, Burnham Institute and VA Hospital,
   complements Central Florida’s new medical cluster;

• will build its new 35,000 square foot facility on five acres of land in Orlando’s
   promised Southport complex near Orlando International Airport;

• is in the process of raising $6 million to construct the new EMLRC facility.

Emergency medicine is the only field of medicine that requires the participation of a complete lifesaving team. It starts with the 911 dispatchers and continues on with the knowledge base of EMTs, Paramedics, Emergency
Nurses, Emergency Physicians and Trauma Specialists. As the best practices of emergency medicine continue
to evolve, the EMLRC plays a major role in educating the entire emergency team.

The EMLRC is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and advancing emergency medicine. It provides lifesaving education to lifesavers through educational and research programs in emergency medicine, disaster
management, pre-hospital emergency care, and public health. As one of the nation’s select accredited educational centers, the EMLRC partners closely with individuals, businesses, governments, and universities to develop and
deliver lifesaving medical education.

To meet the growing needs of the 21st century, more must be done to keep our communities safe, our families protected, and our loved ones healthy. To make valuable lifesaving skills accessible to everyone, the EMLRC
needs your support in developing a world-class educational center.

The EMLRC is needed now more than ever because you never know when you or a loved one will face a life-threatening emergency.

The new Center allows for more space to serve more emergency care providers right at its own centralized location thereby avoiding cumbersome and often costly off-site locations.

For example:

• Conferences for emergency physicians, nurses, firefighters, paramedics, and EMTs;

• On-site educational courses and annual certification programs in large and small
   group settings as well as the use of simulation equipment;

• Research through “think tank” activities that enhance advanced instructional
   curriculums;

• The Mobile Simulation Lab that was made possible in 2004 from a grant from the
   state of Florida that provides hands-on education for life-like situations;

• Joint Symposiums with the new University of Central Florida Medical School, Burnham
   Institute, the Florida Department of Health, Florida’s major hospitals and local
   community colleges that offer degrees in emergency education;

• Visitations and tours for high school and college students interested in majoring in
   emergency medicine or other degree programs involving emergency medical care;

• A museum that “shows and tells” the evolution and progress of emergency medicine
   since its official inception in Roanoke, Virginia when Julian Stanley Wise and nine
   other men founded the first independent volunteer rescue squad.

When completed Central Florida will become one of the nation's "go to" centers for the continuum of medical education.
