AB  - Our  colleagues  in  pediatrics  often  remind  us  that  children  “are  not  just  little  adults.”  In  much  the  same  way,  rural  EMS  is  not  just  “little”  EMS.  Rural  EMS  departments  not  only  face  the  same  issues  as  their  urban  counterparts,  but  also  must  cope  with  challenges  specific  to  rural  areas,  such  as  limited  local  resources  and  geographic  isolation.1  Because  of  these  differences,  rural  EMS  requires  more  than  just  downsizing  an  urban  system  to  be  successful.  This  chapter  will  highlight  some  of  the  challenges  unique  to  rural  EMS  systems,  and  allow  the  reader  to  begin  to  develop  an  approach  to  rural  medical  direction.
