The BCSSN medical rescue discussion group is where B.C. GSAR advanced medical care providers (80 hrs. FA and licensed healthcare professionals including paramedics, RNs and MDs) can discuss, collaborate and advocate for best practices in B.C. medical rescue.
This discussion group is hosted by the BC SAR Support Network (BCSSN), which aims to provide a place for private discussion, resource sharing and collaboration without political overtones, censorship or interference from outside agencies. This discussion group is also the discussion forum for the BCSARA Medical Advisory Committee.
