The Evolution of Community Paramedic Education

EMS brings innovation, nimbleness and much-needed value to the healthcare community with MIH/CP programs of various shapes and sizes. So how can EMS organizations best prepare community paramedics for this expanded role? Rob and Hilary interview two originators of successful MIH/CP programs: Anne Jensen of San Diego FR and Adam Heinz of REMSA (Reno, NV). Our discussion explores training, partnerships, resource management, funding, the Triple Aim, time scales, SDOH, and how to start up. Because CPs "don't do easy." Reach Anne at ajensen@sandiego.gov and Adam at aheinz@remsa-cf.com
