Resource Deficiencies in Paramedic Programs

How involved in education is the medical director for your paramedic program? If you answered, "Not very much," you are not alone.  Join us as we interview research authors Michael Kaduce and Jonathan Powell, who recently published a paper in Prehospital Emergency Care titled: Medical Directors, Facilities, and Finances: Resource Deficiencies in Accredited Paramedic Programs. Their objective was to evaluate US paramedic program resources and identify common deficiencies that may affect program completion. A lack of medical director engagement in educational activities, inadequate facility resources, and a lack of available financial resources affected the educational environment.  They surveyed those who are directly affected: paramedic students.
