About Us
A BRIEF HISTORY OF C&M MEDICAL SERVICES
 
In 1988, Dr. Cris Mandry, a residency-trained and board-certified Emergency Physician, founded C&M Medical Services to provide high-quality and dedicated Emergency Physician staffing and management services. C&M is a regional physician group of over 150 physicians practicing only in Louisiana. We are one of Louisiana’s leading providers of clinical emergency department physician staffing and management services, in both the private and public sector. To better serve its clients throughout Louisiana, C&M maintains offices in both New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
 
In 1992, Dr. Mandry and C&M, in partnership with the LSU School of Medicine, Earl K. Long Medical Center and the Baton Rouge General Medical Center established the LSU Emergency Medicine Residency Training Program in Baton Rouge.
 
C&M Medical Services received the National Public Hospital Association “Safety Net” Award for “decreased waiting time for pediatric patients in a general emergency department by altering pediatric triage criteria.” This award was honored by the Louisiana State Legislature.
C&M established a Life Support Training Program which provides monthly educational courses in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Pediatric Advanced Life Support for the Baton Rouge area community. In addition to our life support training program C&M presents periodic seminars on various emergency services topics such as EMTALA updates, emergency department charge capture and coding, and electronic medical record utilization in the emergency department.
 
In an attempt to improve research in emergency medicine and promote evidence-based medicine, a full-time research director was added to our group. To date, C&M has published 61 clinical peer publications and made 82 clinical presentations at scientific meetings.
 
Our physicians are actively involved in community and state affairs and have actively served on many medical society committees. Currently Dr. Chris Trevino, a C&M regional director, serves as the medical director for the state’s Louisiana Emergency Response Network (LERN), a new system which will have regional centers throughout Louisiana which will direct critical patients to the nearest appropriate facility with the capabilities required by the patient. Dr. Beau Clark, another C&M regional director, currently serves as medical director for the State of Louisiana EMS bureau.
 
We are a Louisiana-based group dedicated to improving emergency care.  The principal medical directors of C&M, Dr. Cris Mandry, Dr. Will Freeman, Dr. Chris Trevino, Dr. William “Beau”  Clark, and Dr. Sarah d’Autremont are all residency-trained and either board certified or board eligible in Emergency Medicine.  A point of pride for C&M is the involvement our medical directors have had with the Louisiana chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians.  Drs. Mandry, Trevino, Clark, and d’Autremont are past presidents of LaACEP.  Dr. Will Freeman, C&M’s Chief Medical Officer, is the current 2011president for LaAcep.
