SUMMARY:Titrating the Ambulance: Interfacing work and technological “inno
 vations” on the front lines of Emergency Medical Services (Hosted by EFC
 IE)
DESCRIPTION:\nTitrating the Ambulance: Interfacing work and technological 
 “innovations” on the front lines of Emergency Medical Services (Hosted
  by EFCIE)\nIn this presentation\, I explore how paramedics work in and on
  their “apparatus unit” to make it a workable fit. This hidden and tak
 en-for-granted work is important because much is at stake in the back of t
 he ambulance\, particularly in relation to quality of care and safety. I\,
  therefore\, shed light on the situated work processes of paramedics as th
 ey orient and respond to their “apparatus unit” and enact quality and 
 safety in practice. In doing so\, I explore how we can deploy rigorous res
 earch strategies that are grounded in the “everyday” to make technolog
 ical innovations more generous to those they are intended for.\nRegister t
 oday!\n\n\nDr. Michael Corman\n\nAssistant Professor in Sociology in the D

 eaching and research interests include a variety of topics that intersect 
 with the sociological study of health\, illness\, and society. His researc

 and he has recently published a book (2017) through the University of Toro
