    NYCMedics is committed to the humanitarian imperative - the right to receive and to give assistance wherever it is needed. We are a global relief organization that works in unison with the larger humanitarian response to disasters and complex emergencies throughout the world to save lives and lessen human suffering. We put our mission into action with three core international programs: Mobile Medical Disaster Relief, Prehospital Systems Development, and Global Aid Targeted Initiatives. NYCMedics is uniquely positioned to rapidly deploy international teams of medical professionals, providing the highest level of care to people who would otherwise not have access to relief efforts. We build sustainable prehospital care, emergency medical services, and disaster preparedness infrastructure in low- and middle-income countries on a local, regional, and national scale. We also partner with local nonprofit organizations to lend our expertise and resources in a diverse array of ongoing humanitarian relief efforts to assist vulnerable populations isolated by geographical or economic barriers. Yemen At the request of the World Health Organization, NYCMedics is directing a prehospital health systems development project in Yemen. NYCM is proud to be the first organization to ever provide this type of support in Yemen which includes developing the prehospital care operational, dispatch and clinical framework, establishing and managing patient referral pathways, building a workforce of well-trained medics who bridge the gap between prehospital care and emergency departments during patient handover, and ensuring a structured, timely exchange of information to optimize patient safety, continuity of care, and treatment. The Yemeni medics who have gone through NYCM's training now know how to: provide appropriate medical intervention to patients during transfer, transfer patients to the most appropriate destination hospital, streamline patient care documentation, and ensure appropriate patient handoff. Gaza NYCMedics delivered a prehospital care refresher training course to more than 200 prehospital care providers in Gaza. The goal was to strengthen Gaza's prehospital care system by standardizing the level of care in the prehospital environment and getting the paramedics up to speed on current best practices. Although NYCM's group was unable to enter Gaza in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NYCM quickly developed an online distance training program using Google Classroom and VoiceThread. Given the pandemic, the course was modified to include and emphasize infection prevention control (IPC) and provided the medics with the latest known information about COVID. Designed as a 6-week instructor-led and facilitated distance learning model, the course consisted of a series of learning criteria that included self-study as well as a range of individual and collaborative activities. A total of 212 students successfully graduated from the course in December 2020.
