Dr. Mitch has been involved with many aspects of pre-hospital care.
Dr. Mitch was one of the instructors involved in the training of the first groups of paramedics in Quebec in the 1980's.
As first a member and then the chairman of the Health Committee of a local primary and high school (1993 - 2007), Dr. Mitch helped organize and direct an ongoing half day course for the Grade 9 students that taught them the basics of First Aid and CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation).
Dr. Mitch has been a Master Instructor in Advanced Cardiac Life Support since 1992. He has directly trained hundreds of providers and instructors in this Quebec Heart and Stroke Foundation mandated course. The skills learned can save the life of a person having a heart attack or a stroke.
As the Medical Director for the City of Cote Saint-Luc for over 30 years he was directly involved in the community's volunteer First Response Program. This was one of the first groups in North America of dedicated volunteers providing immediate first-line care to its citizens. Not only have countless lives been saved and many more helped by the timely intervention of these First Responders but a number of the volunteers have been inspired to pursue successful careers in the health sciences as respiratory technicians, nurses and physicians. Dr. Mitch and the team helped to coordinate the care, organized shelters and took care of the community during the infamous ice storm of 1998.
