📘 Classroom Session: Laying the Foundation: Growing Paramedic Numbers Through Strategic Development
With critical staffing shortages across fire departments, this class explores an innovative yet historically grounded solution: streamlining the path from civilian to paramedic by integrating EMT training directly into educational curricula. Drawing inspiration from the pioneering Freedom House Ambulance Service and the long-standing success of Delaware's fast-track paramedic cohorts, this presentation outlines a strategic approach to increase paramedic numbers without compromising quality. Attendees will gain insight into pilot programs already underway in Texas, the potential impact on recruitment and retention, and actionable steps for implementing similar initiatives in their own regions.
