I’ve been thinking about this ever since I got hired, and I want to ask what you all think.
During EMT school I learned things , and didn’t learn things, that were vastly different than what I encountered while on shift. I had to practically relearn and unlearn information during FTO.
With this, how can EMT schools better prepare students for real world scenarios and information? Is it just due to antiquated standards? Perhaps more ride alongs would help the student have a better grasp on practical application of the information learned? And do you believe there is an issue with how these schools are teaching this curriculum?
I’m not bashing on any school in particular, but this sentiment appears common among my peers and others I’ve encountered.
