• student responsibilities

I want to thank our special guest, Kim McKenna RN BSN CEN EMT-P from St. Charles County Ambulance District in Missouri. She is an EMS educator and columnist for JEMS.com — check out her recent article here on studying for EMT students.

Also, thanks to our regular panelists:

John Bignell of EMSLive.com

Rick Russotti of the Mitigation Journal Pocast

and thank you to the live participants in the chat room and on the phone lines. It is always great to have your participation. It’s what makes the show so much fun to host.

Next month, we’ll turn the tables and talk about what it takes to be a good EMS Manager. I know that the MedicCast listeners are the leaders in their EMS communities (either currently or in the future). We’ll address some common management issues and look at what our profession needs to do to bring our supervisors and managers to the next level. Next month’s show will be on a THURSDAY because of a conflict I have. Put it on your calendars now! APRIL 10, 2008.
