EMS Education Part 2: New Approaches for Skill Simulations

Education is so much more than simply transferring knowledge. Instructors don’t merely read bullet points off a screen and consider their job done.

When designing simulation exercises, effective educators go beyond clinical details and help students understand how their care can lead to real patients surviving their injuries and illnesses to go home to their families.
