For most people the wail of an ambulance siren barely registers. It’s just part of the soundtrack of life in a city. But sirens signal more than an emergency. They announce that trained professionals are behind the wheel, poised to perform extraordinary tasks.

At The University of Iowa, the Emergency Medical Services Learning Resources Center trains thousands of individuals in emergency procedures each year. In this edition of “Iowa Insights,” we visit with Doug York, the center’s director, to talk about the course work, the center’s experienced staff, and what it takes to be cut out for work that—quite literally—is a matter of life or death.
“Iowa Insights" is a monthly audio magazine featuring interviews with some of the world's leading thinkers, researchers and teachers. The podcast is a collaborative project of the UI Office of University Relations and the Center for Media Production. This episode was produced by Christopher Clair and Nick Tomlonovic.
