1) Get involved in EMS Policy making at a national or state level?
I'm seriously considering trying to get involved in policy making at the state, and then possibly, the national level. As of now, I'm in college to finish my BSN degree, after which I'll obviously be taking my NCLEX to become an RN. After I finish with that, or possibly even before, I'll be enrolling in paramedic school, and then most likely be going to respiratory therapist school.
After I get done with all of that, I think it would be interesting to get involved with EMS policy or curriculum making at the state or national level, like I mentioned. After I found this site, I quickly got bitten by the "knowledge and education bug," and I think it's important that the bug gets passed on and implemented in the future. I know that many are trying to do this, but I know that it will be something that will continue in the future.
Does anybody have any suggestions that could lead me on the right track?
2) Pass on the importance of education?
I TA for an EMT-B class, and I know that I can say "advance yourself!" and "look this up when you get home!" until I'm blue in the face, but that may or may not do anything at all. What are some techniques that have worked for you to help you pass on your interest in learning or that have helped show the importance of learning? I realize this may be a vague or (ironically) stupid question, but I just thought I'd put it out there!
Thanks all!
