NAEMT's new EMS Safety course has won the 2011 Nicholas Rosecrans Award for Excellence in Injury Prevention. The award was presented to EMS Safety Program chair Glenn Luedtke, who accepted it on behalf of NAEMT and the committee.

"This is truly an honor on behalf of NAEMT and especially the wonderful team we had to put this course together,” Luedtke said in accepting the award.

The award is named after Nicholas Rosecrans, a boy who died in a drowning incident and inspired the prevention program. The award was presented to Luedtke on March 5 at EMS Today by Keith Griffiths, Paul Maxwell and Lynn Rosecrans.
