How are paramedic skills presented in class?
Usual Answer(s): My way or the highway approach. This uses instructors who follow the local practices as the only good practices method of instruction. This method encourages paramedics who only follow local protocol without much innovation (called cookbook medics). Better Answer: F-M Ambulance recognizes that we produce medics who work all over the country. We strive to eliminate any local or regional bias from our instruction. Experts in procedures that arent performed at our service are brought in to teach those practices. This broadens our instruction and makes it more universal. It also teaches the student that there may be more than one right” way to care for a specific patient. Our instructors also encourage students to read the latest research and incorporate Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) into their treatments.
