Since 2018, Indiana has experienced an increase in ambulance calls but a decrease in EMS workers[1]. This has created longer wait times for ambulance services, which could negatively impact outcomes, especially during emergencies like a stroke or traumatic injury. Thus, EMS in the state often relies on volunteers to fill open positions, despite a lack of funding to train these workers. However, the Indiana Mobile Simulation Laboratory is helping address training gaps by bringing hands-on, simulation-based training to first responders across the state, ensuring they are prepared for real-life emergencies and that patients receive high-quality care.
