PCC Announces partnership with NEMSMA – International Journal of Paramedicine
The National EMS Management Association (NEMSMA) and the Paramedic Chiefs of Canada (PCC) are proud to announce their collaboration to launch a new peer-reviewed academic publication – the International Journal of Paramedicine. The first issue is anticipated to be released in the 3rd quarter of 2021.
The Journal will accept submissions on a variety of clinical and non-clinical topics. It will provide a much needed forum for articles addressing leadership, system design, finance, quality improvement, education, public policy, clinical care, and other related topics. The International Journal of Paramedicine will strive to highlight the academic and professional contributions of paramedics.
The Journal team is still being assembled, but several top positions have already been filled. The organizations have appointed Mic Gunderson, EMT-P (Ret.), FAEMS to serve as Editor-in-Chief. Mic has been in EMS for over 45 years and has an extensive academic publishing background dating back to the 80’s with launching the Tampa Bay EMS Journal and the Journal of Prehospital Medicine. The latter was incorporated into efforts with NAEMSP and WADEM, where he was deeply involved in the launch of Prehospital and Disaster Medicine. He led the EMS Management Journal for NEMSMA in the early 90’s as well as an academic EMS journal in South America.
Our Managing Editors are Walter Tavares, ACP, PhD, and Mike Touchstone, BS, FACPE, EMT-P. Walter is a Scientist and Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto and an Advanced Care Paramedic with York Region Paramedic and Senior Services. Mike is a Deputy Chief for EMS Operations in the Philadelphia Fire Department and a former NEMSMA President.
Several of the Associate Editors have also been designated – Elizabeth Donnelly, PhD, MPH, NREMT – Associate Professor, University of Windsor (ON, Canada); Renée MacPhee, PhD – Associate Professor, Wilfred Laurier University (ON, Canada); and Scot Phelps, JD, MPH – Paramedic Program Director, Union County College (NJ, USA).
NEMSMA President, Sean Caffery, comments, “NEMSMA has been a partner with a number of publications throughout the field or paramedicine and is excited to work with the Paramedic Chiefs of Canada to develop this new publication that will fill a key gap between peer-reviewed clinical publications and the industry press. We further hope this new outlet for paramedic-led scholarship will advance our profession for generations to come.”
PCC President, Randy Mellow states, “The Paramedic Chiefs of Canada are eager to collaborate with NEMSMA on the International Journal of Paramedicine. The PCC has benefited from a long-standing partnership with NEMSMA, and we are confident that the Journal will fulfill a broader need for literature that applies to paramedic leadership both in Canada and the United States.”
A Call for Editors to find additional individuals interested in volunteering to serve in other key roles on the core Journal team will be issued soon. A Call for Papers will be also be sent out in the coming weeks and will include details on the types and requirements for manuscripts submissions.
