I posted GENUINELY looking for some ideas and to trade some training ideas... What exactly IS WRONG with looking for more ideas similar in stye??? Any way.. peace to you all... Im thouroghly DONE with this site.. Good luck... stay safe and all that jazz.

No because I was asking if anyone wanted to share ideas in line with what we are doing.. and the response I am getting is push back. Many people want to keep doing things the way they were done for the last 10, 20, or 30 years.. Others are open to change. There ARE many ways to train. I wasnt...

Now I am sorry I even asked . This is exhausting.

Here are a couple of studies to look up: Heldal I, Backlund P, Johannesson M, Lebram M, Lundberg L. Connecting the Links: Narratives, Simulations and Serious Games in Prehospital Training. Stud Health Technol Inform. 2017;235:343-347. PMID: 28423811. Suppan M, Gartner B, Golay E, Stuby L...

I guess I am confused as to why you think training shouldnt be "fun". I try to use ways to make the training MEMORABLE... so the information is retained longer. Our people often comment that they actually "learned" something There are TONS of studies that show the value of engaging adult...

oh... and great way to make people feel welcome in the group. Thumbs up to you.

If someone walks away from a training seeing NO VALUE in the education they just received, wouldn't you say there was a problem with the delivery of the education???

I would say that you are not getting QUALITY CEUs. Our Continuing Education is MONTHLY and is relavant and valuable. We do not wait until the end of the licensure cycle and attend a "refresher" course... We do our refresher on a continuos basis. Training should be engaging and informative. You...

For those of us who are Training Officers.... Who would be willing to swap training ideas / materials to keep things fresh and exciting?? I tend to have more "emersive" training sessions to help with the retention of the material being covered. I would be willing to share my ideas and materials...

We train monthly. Our monthly training sessions count toward our refreshers so our "Refreshers" are continously occurring. Our service has EMRs, EMT Basics and Advanced EMTs. We all train together.

LOL you are very *perceptive*....;) about the camera system and priorities. Only two cameras in the station are on the area containing the bike ( and supplies) and in the kitchen facing the eating area??? :rolleyes: so... weird...?? indeed. Yes on the list of duties.. apparently the DO need to...

Being one of the two full timers I can tell you its a long long shift if there is nothing to do. Our current duty list is very minimal . I appreciate your input !! I agree on the training and the fitness. Training we can do... the fitness...?? The powers that be DID get us a fancy exercise bike...

As training officer, I am hoping to add some VR trainings... for things like triaging MCIs,Swift water rescues, etc

Anyone care to share a list of Job Duties ( for down time at the station)? Also, can you state whether your are an URBAN or RURAL squad?? We are a (newly) combination-Paid/Volunteer Rural EMS department. We only has two Full Timers and a hand full of volunteers in a very small town (population...

Ha.... I just got thrown into it.. but that was in 2010.. I found my groove... and now we are our own state approved training center.
