Medical response teams, termed ski patrols, are required by the US Forest Service at each ski area. A ski patrol's medical care involves unique challenges: distance from definitive care, complex extrication, and exposure to winter environments. While rules stipulate that one or more persons be trained to administer basic first aid, no further uniform regulations apply to the training, scope of practice, or medical oversight for U.S. ski patrols. This project aims to investigate patroller training, patient care, and medical direction of U.S. ski patrols through the survey of ski patrol directors and medical directors. 000009505 650__ $$aSkiing$$026042 000009505 650__ $$aWilderness Medicine$$038478 000009505 6531_ $$awilderness ems 000009505 6531_ $$aski patrol 000009505 6531_ $$amedical direction 000009505 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009505 7001_ $$aFell, Lindsey$$uOregon Health and Science University$$10000-0002-0281-744X$$041354 000009505 7201_ $$aLinney, Olivia$$7Personal$$eMentor$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009505 7201_ $$aDeLoughery, Thomas$$7Personal$$ePI$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009505 7201_ $$aChatroux, Louisa$$7Personal$$eCollaborator$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009505 7201_ $$aPilliod, Rachel$$7Personal$$eCollaborator$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009505 8564_ $$920267a4f-d641-4fca-b0a9-8f473844e89b$$s223530$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9505/files/Fell.Lindsey.2022.pdf 000009505 905__ $$a/rest/prod/kh/04/dq/49/kh04dq491 000009505 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9505$$pstudent-work 000009505 980__ $$aScholarly Project Capstones
