Why am I doing this research?
​
​The conflicts that can occur between employees and management have been well-documented in the fields of organizational development and medicine. This has helped us better understand how goals may be achieved that are positive for the patient, caretaker, and healthcare management. This current research project seeks to uncover the stories of conflict between emergency medical services (EMS) personnel and their supervisors or managers. I will use these stories to document the history and analyze the phenomenon that are uncovered as I have in other work (see these 2 links)
