years.

Training (MICT) at Southwestern College and Clinical Instructor and
Supervisor of MICT at William Newton Hospital, Wesley Medical Center
and St Francis Medical Center for over eight years.
She was an MICT Instructor/Coordinator at the University of
Kansas , taught an Emergency Nursing Course for Kansas Region III EMS
and was the Coordinator of Fire/Medical Rescue for the Wichita Fire
Department. While with
the Wichita Fire Department, she developed a comprehensive rescue team
to include water, high angle, and trench rescue and vehicle
extrication.
Marilyn
was an EMS examiner for the Kansas University Emergency Medical
Training, the Bureau of Emergency Medical Services and the Board of
Emergency Medical Services.
