In February 2024, Clarion Events announced the Journal of Emergency Medical Services (JEMS), the leading source of EMS education, learning, and events had announced the formation of a new Advisory Board. The Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System is proud to announce the appointment of Robin Davis to the JEMS Advisory Board.
Robin Davis is a nationally registered paramedic and has spent nearly 40 years in public safety, both in law enforcement and as an EMS officer. Davis joined the Sterling Volunteer Rescue Squad (SVRS) in 1986 and shortly after joined the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office as a Deputy Sheriff. Over the next several years, Davis continued his pre-hospital education, becoming a Cardiac Care Technician, and later joined the Ashburn Volunteer Fire Department, becoming the first medic in Ashburn and allowing them to become an Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport agency. In 1995, he pursued a career in the Fairfax County Police Department, where he became a flight paramedic, ultimately rising to the position of Chief Flight Paramedic. During this time, he served on the Executive Board of the Northern Virginia EMS Council and the Virginia State Medevac Committee. He also served as an ALS preceptor and helped develop and administer the ALS Mentor program in Loudoun County. Throughout his career, Davis has frequently spoken at conferences and authored several articles for JEMS.
In 2019, Davis was inducted into the Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System’s Hall of Fame and in 2020, he began running with the Purcellville Volunteer Rescue Squad to assist with daytime ALS coverage and training. Today, he is enjoying retirement from clinical practice but continues to serve as the Assistant Director of the FDIC Clinical Competition
“I am extremely proud of Assistant Chief Robin Davis for this outstanding achievement,” said Keith Johnson, Chief of the Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System. “Robin’s experience and expertise will allow him to provide invaluable insight into a wide range of issues impacting the world of healthcare and EMS professionals.”
Comprising professionals representing diverse areas within the emergency medical services (EMS) and medical field, the board will provide strategic guidance and expert insights across a variety of platforms including media, events, and online learning.
“We are thrilled to welcome this esteemed group of individuals to the JEMS Advisory Board,” said JEMS Editor-in-Chief Dr. Edward “Ted” Lee. “Their collective experience and leadership will be invaluable as we navigate the evolving landscape of healthcare and ensure JEMS remains the trusted resource for EMS professionals worldwide.”
The JEMS Advisory Board will serve a two-year term, offering their expertise on a range of critical issues including:
- Industry trends and developments
- Educational content
- Governance and decision-making
“Our new JEMS Advisory Board represents some of the best minds and though leaders in EMS,” said JEMS Managing Editor Jeff Frankel. “I am excited to work alongside this dedicated group and leverage their experience to help JEMS continue to empower EMS professionals through high-quality education and resources.”
By establishing the Advisory Board, JEMS reinforces its commitment to fostering innovation and thought leadership; elevating industry standards; and amplifying diverse perspectives. The full list of JEMS Advisory Board members can be found on their website.
