| BACKGROUND: |
Pursuant to §401.265, Florida Statutes, BLS/ALS transport services (i.e. EMS) are required to employ a licensed physician as a medical director. An independent physician, Dr. Stavros, has agreed to serve as the Medical Director for Public Safety on a temporary basis (3-6 months) until the position can be permanently filled. Dr. Stavros has filled in as Medical Director and has familiarity with our EMS system. The contract position will allow Public Safety/EMS to have stability during a period of transition of medical director. The contract and dollar amount include required insurance requirements.
By Board action on March 15, 2018, the Board previously approved the Interim Medical Director Agreement for Employment with a commencement date of March 15, 2018. However, Dr. Stavros, started working with Escambia County EMS on February 16, 2018. |
