Dr Bonnie Snyder
Dr. Bonnie Snyder was born and raised in Wasilla, Alaska which she fondly describes as “redneck suburbia.” She was a ground 911 paramedic and paramedic educator there for about 3 years while finishing her Bachelor’s. She then went to University of Washington for medical school where she had the privilege of working with the Seattle Medic One/UW Division of EMS research team on OHCA research. She is now an intern at the University of Cincinnati Emergency Medicine Residency. She hopes to pursue EMS fellowship in the future and stay involved with EMS research and education for her career.

- Consequences of under ventilation
General airway management
- positioning
- suction
- airway adjuncts
- mask seal
- C-E technique
- 2 person technique
- waveform capnography and other real time feedback
