Paul A. Werfel

Paul A. Werfel is a paramedic and educator specializing in prehospital emergency medical services. He holds a master's degree and is a nationally registered paramedic, and has served as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Emergency Medicine. His professional focus spans EMS clinical practice, paramedic education, and the research foundations that underpin both.

Werfel has contributed over 50 peer-reviewed and professional publications, with work appearing in journals including Prehospital and Disaster Medicine, JEMS, and EMS World. His published topics cover forensic dimensions of EMS airway management, paramedic student instruction in research literacy and critical appraisal of medical literature, and emergency clinical case analysis. He has also presented at the New York State EMS Conference, where he addressed toxicology preparedness for EMS providers in the context of mass-casualty and hazardous-exposure scenarios.

In the forensic arena, Werfel has been retained as an expert witness in litigation involving prehospital care and EMS practice standards, as reflected in published New Jersey court proceedings. His work in that capacity draws on his combined background in field paramedicine, academic instruction, and clinical emergency medicine education.
