Summary:

On August 4, 2015 the EMS Authority approved the revised bylaws to the EMS Medical Control Board allowing for the appointment of alternate members.  This action supports that approval.

 

Background Information:

The Pinellas County Emergency Medical Services Special Act established a Medical Control Board (MCB) consisting of four (4) licensed physicians specializing in emergency medicine from facilities in Pinellas County, four (4) Pinellas County hospital administrators, one (1) emergency physician appointed by the Pinellas County Medical Association, one (1) emergency physician appointed by the Pinellas County Osteopathic Society and one (1) emergency physician from a trauma center located within Pinellas County.

The primary member must meet the meeting attendance requirement of the MCB bylaws.  The alternate members are intended to ensure a quorum is met when a primary member is unavailable.
