EMS on AIR Podcast
EMS on AIR is an education and entertainment podcast designed to keep healthcare providers safe, informed, and prepared. The EMS on AIR Podcast was originally launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to communicate efficiently and directly with EMS personnel. Now, we’ve started branching out to all things healthcare but still tailored with the national EMS audience in mind. This podcast has begun to transform into a bridge between subject matter experts, the most recent data, and the EMS providers who make a difference every day in the field.
The EMS on AIR Podcast is hosted by Geoff Lassers and Dr. Robert Dunne.
Geoff Lassers began his career as a first responder in 2002. Since then, he has earned a depth of experience as a professional firefighter, paramedic, EMS instructor, and in the hospital as an ED tech. Geoff has been a professional firefighter/paramedic and EMS instructor with the West Bloomfield Fire Department since 2004. In 2020, the EMS on AIR Podcast was launched to provide up-to-date information to the local, state, and national EMS community regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as express best practices. Since then, the EMS on AIR Podcast has expanded to all topics related to prehospital care.
