Dr. Spear has implemented innovations in EMS through the years that have been adopted by EMS systems around the world. He is a recognized international expert and leader in emergency ultrasound. His subspecialty in emergency ultrasound is venous access and emergency procedures in adults and children. Dr. Spear is constantly developing new modalities for implementation in the prehospital setting and with the help of UT Southwestern will continue to pursue this interest. "As a clinician, I can see only a limited number of patients. But as an innovator, I can change the way a large number of clinicians practice."
