What is the Parkmedic Program?
The Parkmedic program provides the emergency medicine residents at UCSF Fresno the unique opportunity to become EMS medical directors (under faculty supervision) for the Parkmedics of Sequoia and King’s Canyon National Parks (SEKI). With staff guidance, residents participate in:

  • continuing education of the Parkmedics (monthly continuing education sessions)
  • continuous quality improvement (CQI)
  • an annual refresher course
  • a special biannual training course (see January course)

Residents voluntarily participate in this program usually starting in the PGY 2 year (see Parkmedic EMS Curriculum).
