Re: MDs on Transport

Kie-
We are a dedicated neonatal/pediatric team in Kansas City.  We stopped taking MD's on our peds runs about 8 years ago because of several of the questions you are asking about.  They were on out-of-house call and delayed our en route time considerably.  Their exact role was poorly defined.  To answer your questions:
1.  Children's Critical Care Transport
2.  Kansas City, MO
3.  RN/RT
4.  1500 Peds
5.  700 Neo
6.  No
Feel free to contact me directly at sdean@cmh.edu if you have any questions.  Good luck!
