Jay Fitch, PhD, Fitch & Associates, David M. Williams, MS, Fitch & Associates
Jerry Johnston, BA, NREMT-P, NAEMT
Enrollment is limited and pre-registration is required.
To be an EMT you went to EMT school, to become a paramedic you went to paramedic school...now it’s time to go to Supervisor school.
Leading the operations in emergency services is more complex and challenging than ever before. Trial by fire and kicking your best providers out in the field in a fly car with no training is no longer an acceptable or ethical leadership development program. To be an effective supervisor, you need to understand key concepts of EMS and be proficient in specific skills. Do you aspire to achieve a frontline leadership position? Were you promoted to supervisor without any training? If so, this is the program for you.
Join industry-leading faculty for two full days of experiential and practical learning that will jumpstart your management career. Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone and participate in owning your learning experience. Pre-readings and a participant survey will be distributed in advance.
