The mission of the Division of Clinical Performance and Education (DCPE) is to ensure that Travis County First Responders have the clinical skills and training necessary to ensure optimum performance in the care of our community. Using a small but dedicated team of 4 personnel and two part-time medical directors, the DCPE provides Medical Direction, clinical education, and training to over 300 Travis County prehospital responders at all levels, from Basic Life Support to Advanced Critical Care. The DCPE is in service to Travis County STAR Flight, the rescue and EMS helicopter, multiple Emergency Service Districts, and Travis County Parks Officers.
