A related topic that probably belongs here, is the role of a medical director in search and rescue. In much of the world SAR is separate from EMS, and in some parts of the world (most notably the US and Canada) it is a volunteer civilian service. Medical directors may provide decision support and guidance to SAR field teams via cell phone or radio. --Una Smith (talk) 16:15, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

How about moving this article to Medical director (emergency medicine), to make way for Medical director to be made a disambiguation page or an article explaining in general the job title "Medical Director"? Below are some of the many Wikipedia articles that use the title. --Una Smith (talk) 16:11, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

There is partly false information in the description of german EMS, starting with the sentence "In the German version of the model, paramedics (called Rettungsassistents) do exist":
The old "non-physicians aren't allowed to do invasive treatment" results from the times before the profession Rettungsassistent came into effect 1989 and clearly is outdated, at least legally (however, not in the mind of some old whiners and especially a lot of EMS managers). I admit, it's a good reason for some managers to deny proper pay and on the other hand for some lesser motivated co-workers to deny professional/legal responsibility. Too bad, they don't read the law or follow the recent legal discussions. --84.152.20.233 (talk) 21:03, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

The article gives off the strong impression that Medical Director is most commonly associated with Emergency Medical Services (EMS) as this is discussed in detail in the first paragraph. Also, EMS services are discussed in extensive details in the following paragraphs further cementing the initial impression. In this author's experience this is misleading; other more general usages are far more common. As the article itself notes the title Medical Director exists in largely a variety of other settings.
Examples of more common uses of this term include senior physicians in board level hospital/organization management (https://improvement.nhs.uk/documents/1891/Aspiring_MDs_jw_FINAL_FOR_WEB_251017.pdf and https://study.com/articles/Medical_Director_Responsibilities_Requirements_and_Career_Info.html), within private industry/pharma (https://www.nonclinicalcareers.com/what-does-a-medical-director-in-a-pharmaceutical-company-typically-do/), or as a near-synonym for chief-medical officer (https://careertrend.com/facts-6756505-job-description-chief-medical-officer.html).
The article should therefore be rewritten to reflect the general nature of this term and giving space to the various meanings according common usage - where management of EMS is one, but not particularly prominent, usage of this term.
