Attendees will explore the limitations of time-based education models, opportunities to shift toward competency-based frameworks, and practical strategies for strengthening preceptor development, CQI integration, and agency-level credentialing processes β creating a closed-loop feedback system between community colleges, EMS agencies, and medical direction.
