EMS Education: The Four Legged Stool

Yes, I understand

This course explores the foundations of EMS education through the concept of the four-legged stool: classroom instruction, hands-on lab practice, clinical field experience, and high-fidelity simulation. Students learn how each component supports competency-based learning and prepares future EMS providers for real-world practice. Emphasis is placed on developing balanced curricula, aligning instruction with national standards, and integrating meaningful assessment strategies to ensure skill mastery and student success. Participants will examine best practices, evaluate program effectiveness, and design learning activities that contribute to producing well-rounded, confident EMS professionals.
