This document discusses the history and development of emergency medical services (EMS) systems. It describes how early systems focused on transportation of injured patients but have evolved significantly over time. Major developments include the first organized ambulance services in the 19th century, innovations during wars to rapidly evacuate casualties, and medical advances in the 20th century like CPR and defibrillation that formed the basis of pre-hospital care. The document outlines key events and legislation that professionalized EMS and established it as an integral part of community healthcare infrastructure.

TABLE 1-1 Milestones of Medicine and Medical Education 1700–2015 ■ 1700s: Training and apprenticeship under one physician was common until hospitals were founded in the mid-1700s. In 1765, the first medical school was established at the University of Pennsylvania. ■ 1800s: Medical training was provided through internships with existing physicians who often were poorly trained themselves. In the United States, there were only four medical schools, which graduated only a handful of students. There was no formal tuition with no mandatory testing. ■ 1847: The AMA was established as a membership organization for physicians to protect the interests of its members. It did not become powerful until the 1900s when it organized its physician members by county and state medical societies. The AMA wanted to ensure these local societies were protecting physicians’ financial well-being. It also began to focus on standardizing medical education. ■ 1900s–1930s: The medical profession was represented by general or family practitioners who operated in solo practices. A small percentage of physicians were women. Total expenditures for medical care were less than 4% of the gross domestic product. ■ 1904: The AMA created the Council on Medical Education to establish standards for medical education. ■ 1910: Formal medical education was attributed to Abraham Flexner, who wrote an evaluation of medical schools in the United States and Canada indicating many schools were substandard. The Flexner Report led to standardized admissions testing for students called the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), which is still used as part of the admissions process today. ■ 1930s: The healthcare industry was dominated by male physicians and hospitals. Relationships between patients and physicians were sacred. Payments for physician care were personal. ■ 1940s–1960s: When group health insurance was offered, the relationship between patient and physician changed because of third-party payers (insurance). In the 1950s, federal grants supported medical school operations and teaching hospitals. In the 1960s, the Regional Medical Programs provided research grants and emphasized service innovation and provider networking. As a result of the Medicare and Medicaid enactment in 1965, the responsibilities of teaching faculty also included clinical responsibilities. ■ 1970s–1990s: Patient care dollars surpassed research dollars as the largest source of medical school funding. During the 1980s, third-party payers reimbursed academic medical centers with no restrictions. In the 1990s with the advent of managed care, reimbursement was restricted. ■ 2014: According to the 2014 Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMAC) annual survey, over 70% of medical schools have or will be implementing policies and programs to encourage primary care specialties for medical school students.

My paper is on England’s Healthcare System and all information needed is below- MUST FOLLOW THE OUTLINE AND USE SOME OF THE REFERENCES FROM THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
Country Selection
I chose to do my research paper on England’s Healthcare System, and compare it to our system of healthcare here in the United States. I have always been obsessed with England, their accents, tea, their architecture, writers, musicians such as Duran Duran, etc.…. So naturally I am interested in their healthcare system.
The only thing I know about England’s healthcare system is that it is free to all citizens, and that it is one of the few countries that has this type of system. There is private health care and a wide variety of alternative and complementary treatments are available for those willing to pay, although the public health system is the main source of healthcare in England. The National Health Service (NHS) which is England’s public service system is in charge of healthcare in the United Kingdom. (Europe-cities, 2016)

The writer tries to give us the US healthcare system over some passed years. There Healthcare system’s timeline ranges from 1912 to 2012 and a series of reforms have been happening year in year out to ensure that the residents get what they deserve. These historical moments are best in explaining the current position they are now in since the nation is committed to giving the best to its residents. For instance in 1942: Roosevelt establishes wage and price controls during World War II, to best equip the healthcare system and ensure that people are attended well at zero cost.

The author of this journal states clearly on how the healthcare system is good it is to the residents. Even though residents get good and quality services, their tax submissions should be deducted for the purposes of funding the program. To others it is heavy remit but its benefit is excellent to many of the residents. It has brought a lot of the good than harm and many people are healthy. Their life expectancy is raised than other developed nations like US.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Teaching Tip
Discuss with students the different out-of-hospital and in-hospital components.
Class Activities
Assign members of the class a particular role as an out-of-hospital and in-hospital component.
Give students a scenario and have them stand in a line as their part in the EMS call arrives.
Once you have gone through the call, repeat with removal of one or two student roles, which allows students to visualize where the care is jeopardized when there is a break in the EMS and hospital components.
Class Activities
Create a timeline of dates and important EMS history.
Have students match them together.
(You may want to do this ahead of time. It works well if cards are laminated, which allows taping to the board.)
Teaching Tips
Explore the history of EMS with students, expanding on the role the military has played, as well as the most recent developments with curriculum changes.
Discussion Topics
Discuss with students why EMS struggles with funding, from the city and state level, through insurance and changes that have occurred in the standard of care for the paramedic.
Teaching Tips
Review all of the components with the student.
Most information should be familiar.
Points to Emphasize
Focus on medical direction and off-line, on-line, prospective, and retrospective.
Explain to students what to do if they have a physician arrive on their scene.
Discuss with students the importance of safety.
Have them list examples of unsafe practices in EMS and how those practices can be improved.
Class Activities
If not already done, take students through a mock peer review, first using a positive approach, then a negative approach.
Discuss with students how a negative approach affects the review.
Knowledge Application
Assign the students a 5-minute homework project that includes presenting a safety program to family/friends in an informal setting, and have the participants write an evaluation on how the information given will aid them in staying safe and healthy (e.g., texting and driving, use of seat belts, rugs in the kitchen, etc.)
Discussion Topics
Discuss different education programs paramedics might be called on to present.
Discuss with students why they feel it is important for the initial training program to follow a standard teaching curriculum.
Discuss what could happen if there were no standard rules for education in EMS.
Questions:
When and where was the first ambulance service introduced?
Who acted as the first "paramedics"?
What legislation standardized training, assessment, and care for the EMT?
When was this legislation passed?
Knowledge Application
Assign students an assignment of finding two to four research articles from professional magazines, journals, Internet, etc.
Have them write a few paragraphs on whether they agree or disagree with the information, and why.
