In the world of emergency medical services (EMS), minorities and women are severely underrepresented, a problem that studies have shown can have consequences on quality of patient care. Bernard Robinson, director of operations for Northwell's Center for Emergency Medical Services, and Tara McEvoy, a paramedic supervisor at Lenox Hill Hospital, discuss the importance of diversity and inclusion in the field, as well their experiences during COVID-19.
