Abstract
Research demonstrates that modern Emergency Medical Service (EMS) systems do not provide care equitably to all patients, particularly across different landscapes. In this research, I explore the differences between rural and urban EMS nationally and within Vermont. Utilizing a mix of qualitative data derived from interviews with EMS providers, quantitative data from local and national-level monitoring organizations, and cartographic approaches, I generated an understanding of the current EMS landscape from a social and spatial perspective. Specifically, I explored the application of the theory of “taskscapes” onto EMS systems to evaluate understandings for a more equitable EMS future.
