Dr. Pepe heads an academic EM program based at the county emergency trauma center, Parkland Hospital, and the North Texas Poison Control Center. As the City of Dallas Director of Medical Emergency Services for Public Safety, Public health & Homeland Security and jurisdictional Medical Director for the regional EMS system annually he oversees about a quarter million EMS incidents and 3,000 paramedics/first responders in Dallas and the surrounding cities in Dallas County. He is also the Medical Director of special services for the DFW International Airport, the Dallas Police Department and the Dallas Metropolitan Medical Response System for counter-terrorism and disaster mitigation. An extremely distinguished academician, Dr. Pepe is renown for a grass-roots “street-wise” style in planning, implementing and overseeing a “systems” approach to saving lives. Both operationally and through clinical trials, his programs have resulted in some of the
highest cardiac arrest and trauma survival rates worldwide.

Dr. Pepe’s closing keynote presentation at The Ohio EMS Conference is Event Medicine: An Evolving Subspecialty of Emergency Medical Services Practice. At The Ohio EMS Leadership Forum, Dr. Pepe’s presentation is Ten Golden Rules for Public Speaking and Dealing With the News Media.
