Korth graduated magna cum laude from St. John's University with an undergraduate degree in accounting, and with honors, from that University's School of Law. David Ng, MD, FAAEM, Associate Director of the Emergency Department at the Nassau University Medical Center, has been selected by the Williston Park Fire Department and Emergency Rescue Squad to serve as its medical director until 2020. The department, comprised of 101 volunteer members, serves the com - munities of Williston Park, Albertson and East Williston. The American College of Emergency Physicians highlighted the medical director as an integral component of the emergency medical services (EMS) agency, stating that the medical director should have ultimate authority over all clinical and patient care aspects of the EMS agency, with the specific job description dictated by local needs. The medial director is responsible for the general care-related activities of a particular agency. There are many facets of an EMS agency in which a medical director should be engaged, including education and training activities, protocol and policy development, quality improvement, liaison, and corrective actions related to patient care actions by providers.
