In this episode of We Are EMS Educators, Dan Limmer talks with Dr. Mike Miller, Assistant Director of the Committee on Accreditation of EMS Programs, about what it takes to help more students succeed in EMS education.

They explore the reasons students leave programs, what educators can do to reduce attrition, and how simple changes—like better support, connection, and teaching strategies—can make a lasting difference. They also discuss the role of accreditation, the importance of mentoring, and why supporting educators themselves is key to strong programs.

Recorded live at Accreditcon, this episode offers a clear look at practical ways to improve EMS education, from both sides of the classroom.
