[Volunteers_fosm] Reminder: FOSM Membership Meeting - tonight, 7:00 PM; SRD Conference Room

[Joseph C. Giles]

I’ve had an advanced look at tonight’s exciting presentation. You won’t want to miss seeing it at the Ranger Station!

Topic - Overview of the International Mountain Medicine Center <https://hsc.unm.edu/medicine/departments/emergency-medicine/programs/prehospital-care/immc/>—who they are and what they do—paired with a presentation of the Tram rescue in which IMMC was involved on New Years Day 2022. 
Speaker - Trevor Mayschak, our scheduled speaker, isn’t feeling well, but Jason Williams, IMMC Director, graciously agreed to stand in for him. 

Jason Williams BS, Paramedic, DiMM 
Senior Faculty Lecturer – University of New Mexico, Department of Emergency Medicine
Jason is the Director of the International Mountain Medicine Center at the University of New Mexico where he and his faculty train healthcare professionals from across the globe in mountain emergency medicine and rescue. Jason is a paramedic and holds his Bachelors in Emergency Medicine; he obtained his International Diploma in Mountain Emergency Medicine in Switzerland under the shadow of the Matterhorn. He is the founder of UNM’s Diploma in Mountain Medicine (DiMM), a member of the International Commission for Alpine Rescue, chairs the international DiMM Regulation and Assessment Committee, and is on the board of directors of the Wilderness medical Society. Jason is a past member and president of volunteer-based Albuquerque Mountain Rescue Council and formed University of New Mexico’s first helicopter mountain rescue team in collaboration with Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office Air Support Unit. He has been featured by the International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation and has rock climbed throughout world. Despite his breadth of world travel, he’ll let you know this any day: “Nothing beats climbing a granite cliff face in the Sandia mountains with my life-long climbing partner/wife and teaching our five year old daughter to share our love for New Mexican mountains”.  

Date and Time - June 6, 7:00 PM

Location - Sandia Ranger Station conference room

Livestreaming - Our attempts at using an iPhone and Zoom to livestream the previous two meetings for those unable to attend in person were largely successful although there remains room for improvement. Joelle Hertel and I hope the 3rd time will be a charm. Zoom particulars are:

Tonight’s presentation includes several exciting video clips that, unfortunately, will be of lesser quality when viewed over Zoom. You really need to be there if you can. (It’s complicated.) Caveats from the last two meetings still apply. This remains very much an experiment. Zoom participants will have microphones muted and video feed disabled but can communicate questions using Chat.
