EMS Magazine Monthly Insider, December ‘07
Rod Brouhard
Rod Brouhard has been a paramedic in Modesto, CA with AMR for 16 years. He has also been a preceptor for many years and authored this month’s article, Paramedic Preceptors: the Key to Creating a Successful Medic.
Rod explains that he began to research this topic when he was asked to design a preceptor training program for California State University in Stanislaus. “I discovered that there was a wildly different model depending on where you were in the country,” he says.
In this podcast Rod elaborates on his article, which is a discussion on these different ways we train paramedic students. His goal for the article is to show training officials that, “Maybe the way we do it isn’t the only way it could be done,” he says.
Rod also explains how he became involved in EMS and his other projects today, including serving as the First Aid and EMS “Guide” on About.com.
Look for Rod’s full article, Paramedic Preceptors: the Key to Creating a Successful Medic, in your December issue of EMS Magazine, and soon on EMSResponder.com.
