Its almost time for our interns to start their ortho/ski clinic/Airmed rotation!!! To gain skills in orthopedics and EMS medicine our interns work in ski clinics at the base of many of Utah's ski resorts learning about acute fracture and dislocation management and more! This rotation has built in spectacular views from our desk windows and day with our airmed crew learning more about flight medicine. This rotation is obvisously a fan favorite while also a great month of learning❄️ 🗻

We had the privilege of welcoming Dr. Bob Carter, the Chief Executive Officer of the University of Utah Health and Executive Vice President of the University of Utah Health Sciences, to our faculty meeting. During the meeting, he discussed the strategic vision for the University of Utah's Health system, emphasizing the crucial role of Emergency Medicine in providing care across the state, encompassing service, education, and research.

"Prepare to self-rescue" is a core tenet of wilderness medicine, acknowledging that any adventure can quickly turn into Type II fun, and help is often far away. The last thing any healthcare worker wants is to be a liability, or to turn into a person needing to be rescued due to their own carelessness. PGY-2 Torey Lasater set aside the comical "safety third" mentality and employed this mindset while summiting Yosemite's iconic Half Dome after the cables were down for the season. She used a simple system including a climbing harness, Klemheist friction hitch (which she chose over a Prusik for a few different reasons), and a dynamic rope attached to a carabiner as a backup (and possibly the most important piece of gear - a pair of $7 super grippy gloves). This meant that she was always attached to the cable when needing to untie and route around the cable transition points, but could move quickly on both the ascent and descent. She highly recommends this approach if you want to avoid the permits and crowds, but only with the appropriate amount of training and preparation!

Celebrating an incredible achievement from our AirMed team!

Dr. Eric Swanson and Dr. Kelli Lund, along with the neonatal transport and tele-NICU teams, have been recognized by the Association of Air Medical Services (AAMS) with the National Award of Excellence in Neonatal/Pediatric Transport.

This honor reflects years of persistence, innovation, and collaboration. What began as a 15-year effort to establish a dedicated neonatal transport team has grown into a program that is transforming care for Utah’s most vulnerable patients. Through the team’s tele-NICU initiatives and commitment to clinical excellence, they’ve created a model that bridges geography, improves outcomes, and ensures that newborns receive expert care from the very first moments of life.

Congratulations to Dr. Swanson, Dr. Lund, and the entire team for setting the standard for excellence and innovation in neonatal transport. Your work truly embodies what’s possible when vision, dedication, and teamwork come together to improve lives.

🏒 Career Pivot or EMS Training?

🩺Med-Ed Fellow and nationally renowned, award winning SonoGames Utah EM coach Dr. Brian Merritt may have found his true calling… as a professional hockey goalie. Unfortunately, his promising career was cut short after an on-ice incident involving an ice cream “tummy ache” 🍦🤕

Good news: Dr. Merritt made a full recovery and is back in the ED, where he continues to shine as a Med-Ed Fellow and make waves across our program!Just kidding (about the hockey career 😉). Dr. Merritt joined our team for on-ice EMS simulation training in collaboration with the . We’re thrilled to partner with the Mammoths to provide hands-on, realistic training experiences for our EMS teams and fellows — all while lacing up and skating alongside the crew.
