Dr. Remle Crowe's path to EMS research took a scenic route, beginning as a volunteer EMT with the Red Cross in Mexico City while engineering powertrains at Ford Motor Company, where she earned a Six Sigma Black Belt. A research fellowship at the National Registry made EMS her full-time mission.
With a PhD in Epidemiology and more than 100 peer-reviewed publications, she now serves as Senior Director of Research and Data Enablement at ESO, leading initiatives that transform large-scale prehospital datasets into practice-changing insights. Her work spans academic partnerships, national quality initiatives, and evidence-based product development, all driven by the conviction that every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets. She is committed to using data to drive system change and helping others do the same.
