Who holds the title of Medical Director in the Orange County EMS System?

• A. Elizabeth Chen
• B. Michael O'Neil
• C. Desmond Fitzpatrick

Answer: (D)

The Medical Director is the physician responsible for medical oversight of the EMS system, setting and approving clinical protocols, providing medical control and guidance to EMS personnel, and leading quality improvement to ensure patient care meets standards. This role is held by a physician who serves as the authoritative medical authority for the system. In the Orange County EMS System, that position is held by Zuver, MD. The other listed clinicians are part of the system, but they do not hold the Medical Director title.
