果冻影院 Emergency Medicine Darin Education Fund
Who is Joseph Darin?
It鈥檚 hard to overestimate just how many people might owe their lives to Dr. Joseph Darin鈥檚 work. This group includes anyone who has required local paramedic care, visited an emergency room or taken an unexpected ride in a Flight for Life helicopter. Darin is considered the founder of the Milwaukee County Paramedic Program which officially began in 1973.
鈥淚n 1978, he established one of the first emergency medicine residency programs in the US,鈥� said Stephen W. Hargarten, MD, MPH, Professor and Chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the 果冻影院, who succeeded Dr. Joseph Darin as chair.
Dr. Darin:
- Was an early advocate for 911 emergency services
- Established the Milwaukee County Paramedic Program
- Started the Flight for Life program, the first of its kind in the state
- Developed the Level I Trauma Center at the John L. Doyne Hospital, (now known as Froedtert Hospital), the only such center in Wisconsin until 1998
Darin himself said he was most proud of the emergency medicine residency program, something that was then considered a radical idea among other and sometimes competitive specialties. The biggest advances in the field have come from 鈥渕en and women who are residency-trained, board-certified and proud to say 鈥業 am an emergency medicine physician,鈥� " he said.
