New Haven SHARPE Team

[nozzlenut83]

On a weekend trip to the South Central area this weekend, I heard the New Haven SHARPE Team active for a CT Transit bus MVA in Milford. They were using the CMED designator Romeo. Does anyone know anymore about this team (what does SHARPE stand for, what do they do, etc.)? The only thing I could find in searches were that their CMED designator is Romeo. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

SHARP Team

From their website:

The state’s only certified EMS physician response team, the Sponsor Hospital Area Response Physician (SHARP) Team, which is also run out of the NHSHP office. The team, currently staffed by six EMS physicians and two physician assistants, provides 24/7/365 coverage to support fire and EMS operations in the greater New Haven area. Recent responses have included complex extrications, mass casualty incidents, and a bioterrorism hoax.
