EMT 360

EMS educator Kelly Grayson recently had a revelation: "I’ve been teaching my EMT classes backwards. And when did I become that stodgy old EMT instructor resistant to new ideas?" Consider: if students were seeing real patients every week, from the beginning of the course, they would see more patients, have more time to learn pattern recognition and they’d graduate in the same amount of time, having already seen and learned to interact with hundreds of real patients.

Based on this premise, he is going back to school himself and revamping his program, based on the awareness-proficiency-mastery EMT educational model. Follow along here as he documents the journey.
