Prehospital Care Research Forum (PCRF) Journal ClubAuthor: Prehospital Care Research Forum
The UCLA Center for Prehospital Care established the Prehospital Care Research Forum (PCRF) at UCLA in 1992 in cooperation with JEMS Communications. The PCRF Journal Club is a bi-monthly online meeting that critically evaluates published research and its relevance to prehospital care. We aim to promote healthy and respectful discussions that challenge present and future prehospital care practices. Each session is facilitated by a panel of experts, PCRF board members, and associates.

From Sirens to Synapses: Teaching Neurology in the Back of the Ambulance
Episode 4
Tuesday, 10 March, 2026
Neurologic emergencies don’t wait for the hospital—and neither should neurology education. This episode breaks down a longitudinal EMS curriculum using cases, simulation, and gamification to improve prehospital neurologic assessment. We’ll discuss feasibility, knowledge outcomes, and system-level metrics like door-to-needle time and thrombectomy transfers. Does active learning and simulation meaningfully change prehospital neurologic care—or just test scores? And what does “success” really look like for EMS education?
