Could your next work partner be… Australian? If some folks in California have their way, the answer is yes.  Working to solve the ongoing staffing shortage, a group of innovative EMS leaders in California and Australia are thinking differently: bringing well-trained EMS clinicians from Australia to join the U.S. ranks.  How do they do it? Hosts Rob Lawrence and Hilary Gates interview the impressive cast of characters.  We discuss the logistics, the education, the paperwork, and of course, the accents.
