With the advent of a robust common database structure (National EMS
Information System or NEMSIS), and further motivated by the burgeoning
opioid and overdose epidemic (although by no means limited to that
topic), data from emergency medical services are becoming increasingly
important in epidemiology and public health.

To provide a forum where data professional in epidemiology, statistics,
public health, EMS, and medicine, from all over the US and perhaps the
world, can converse and collaborate regarding the epidemiologic uses of
EMS data, I have created EMS-epi-L.

To subscribe to the List, simply send an email message, with no subject
line, to:

listserv@listserv.binghamton.edu

containing just the following (and nothing else):

Subscribe EMS-epi-l YourFirstName YourLastName

(replace YourFirstName and YourLastName with, of course, your name)

You will then receive an email containing a link to click to confirm
that you indeed want to subscribe. After I authorize your subscription,
you will receive a (hopefully) informative and helpful welcome email.

Then you can discuss EMS epidemiology with your colleagues on the List
by simply sending an email to:

EMS-epi-L@listserv.binghamton.edu

Hope to see you on the List soon!
