Training

While sitting in my office trying to think of an appropriate article for the EMS Newsletter, you know, something profound and life changing, I was reminded of the fact that no training officer could accomplish departmental goals without the support of the workforce. If we are to have a good training department and I think we do, it is only because of you, the individual and as a part of the team, support my efforts. After all, we are each a trainer in some way. It may be as simple a task as showing the newbie how to change an O2 cylinder or the more complex task of teaching pharmacology to a group. If an EMS is to be first rate, then training must be first rate but don’t forget your role as a teacher on whatever level you find yourself. Thank you for your help.

Did You Know?

In 1965 more people died in auto accidents (50,000) than in the 8 years of the Vietnam War.

In 1969 the Miami Florida Fire Department started the nations first paramedic program under Dr. Eugene Nagel. The very first out of hospital defibrillation occurred shortly thereafter. The patient survived and left the hospital neurologically intact.
