Ill try to keep this rant brief.
We started ACLS in school a few weeks ago and i just dont feel like my program is doing a good job teaching it. During lab we split into groups of 5 or 6 students who get teamed up with an instructor who is supposed to go over the algorithms while using the LifePak. Here is where i have an issue, some instructors are awesome, and others are awful. I keep drawing the short straw and ending up with the guys who dont know jack, while other classmates get to actually learn ACLS.
Would i be out of line to speak with my main instructor about this? I dont really want to badmouth any of my teachers since ill be spending another year with them working on my paramedic degree. But ACLS is unbelievably important, and i feel like im getting short changed. Its kinda like "hey here are your algorithms, go learn them on your own". I understand that the algorithms are my responsibility to memorize, but i learn much better by going over scenarios in class.
Should i say something? Or just figure it out on my own?
