Joined by Josh, Cody, and Moose from the AlertMedicOne podcast, we explore key principles of good training, leadership, and the importance of making mistakes in a safe learning environment. We discuss strategies to foster critical thinking, introspection, and continuous improvement among trainees in the EMS field. A big part of EMS is learning to be a leader and a teacher no matter what level you are at so whether you are a trainee, a field trainer, teach students during their rides, or merely work with a partner there's something for everyone to learn in this one. Tune in for an insightful discussion on how to develop and become excellent EMS professionals through solid training and leadership.
