As medical director for HSI, Dr. Hammill provides medical leadership, oversight, and access to best practices to ensure HSI training programs are safe, effective, and of high quality. In advising and consulting with HSI, the HSI medical director helps to set and preserve the parameters by which the medical accuracy and quality of training materials is defined including the evaluation and approval of training materials based on those parameters.
The Medical Board is one of three advisory boards that provide recommendations to the management and board of directors of the HSI. The goal of the medical board is to assure training program content is; based on evidence where available, consistent with widely-accepted medical, legal, and educational guidelines, simple, and teachable. The responsibilities of the medical board include providing scientific evidence, expert opinion, recommendation and review of HSI program content, publications, and statements and providing advice and counsel to other HSI program advisory groups.
“I am excited about being named as Medical Director and Chair of the HSI Medical Advisory Board and look forward to working with the HSI companies to translate the science of first aid and resuscitation into the best courses possible for our instructors and students, said Dr. William Hammill.
